Unit 4 Augmented feedback

Question 1

what are the two types of feedback

Answer 1

task intrinsic and augmented feedback

Question 2

task intrinsic feedback

Answer 2

Internal feedback: what you get without any other information besides your own senses

Question 3

Augmented feedback

Answer 3

Added or enhanced task-intrinsic feedback
Extrinsic

someone giving you more information about your performance that you cant see

Question 4

what are the two forms of augmented feedback

Answer 4

knowledge of results
knowledge of performance

Question 5

knowledge of results

Answer 5

Additional or enhanced information about the movement outcome or achievement of movement goal

Question 6

knowledge of performance

Answer 6

Additional or enhanced information about the movement characteristics leading to the performance outcome

Question 7

how does augmented feedback enhanve motor learning

Answer 7

facilitates achievement of action goal
motivates learner to continue with learner
augmented feedback is also a performance variable

Question 8

when is augmented feedback essential

Answer 8

• Skill performance does not produce critical sensory feedback
• Injury/disease has removed sensory information
• Performer cannot use critical task-intrinsic feedback appropriately* (can be overcome)

Question 9

when is augmented feedback not essential

Answer 9

Performance provides sufficient task-intrinsic feedback
Sometimes, augmented feedback is redundant and does not enhance learning

Question 10

augmented feedback can impair motor learning if

Answer 10

• Task-intrinsic feedback is minimal or difficult to interpret. (can overcome)
• Augmented feedback is erroneous
• Concurrent augmented feedback*
• Augmented feedback is provided too frequently*
  *=will be discussed further

Question 11

how do you know if concurrent feedback will enhance or impair motor learning

Answer 11

1. informativeness: Task-intrinsic feedback is not informative and the augmented feedback is highly informative then concurrent augmented feedback will lead to a dependency on the augmented feedback
2. If it facilitates the learning of the critical task-intrinsic feedback then concurrent feedback will enhance learning:

• Negative learning effect if augmented feedback distracts attention from critical task-intrinsic feedback
• Positive learning effect if augmented feedback directs attention to critical task-intrinsic feedback

Question 12

guidance hypothesis

Answer 12

Feedback after every trial may lead to a different type of learning (dependency)

Less frequent feedback encourages different learning strategies like active problem solving and does not create a dependency
