KNH 184 Exam 3 (Ch. 11)

What is prescriptive feedback?

telling the learner what they need to change

What is absolute frequency of feedback?

the actual number of feedback presentations given in a series of practice trials

What is bandwidth feedback?

the decision to provide a learner with feedback is based on a preset degree of acceptability of performance; no feedback is given if the performance is acceptable

What is the feedback delay interval?

the interval of time after the completion of a movement until feedback is presented

What is faded feedback?

the practice in delivering feedback whereby the frequency of feedback is decreased systematically across trials

What is relative frequency of feedback?

the proportion of trials during practice on which feedback is given; absolute frequency divided by the number of trials

What should accompany videotape feedback for effective motor learning?

queuing

Is augmented feedback necessary for learning?

No

What type of learner would likely suffer a performance decrement as a result of receiving overly precise information?

a young learner; limited memory capabilities

How should the relative frequency of augmented feedback change as motor learning occur?

decrease

What is one way augmented feedback can negatively influence motor learning?

dependency producing properties

If you could only provide a learner with augmented feedback about the direction or magnitude of movement error, which would be more beneficial?

direction - if receiving only magnitude, the learner wouldn't know in what direction they need to make the changes

What is knowledge of performance?

information about the movement pattern the learner just made (the pass was too slow)

What is augmented feedback?

information from the measured performance outcome that is fed back to the learner by some artificial means such as instructors or videos

What is inherent feedback?

information provided as a natural consequence of making an action

What are 3 ways in which augmented feedback can positively influence motor learning?

motivational properties, attention-focusing properties, informational properties

What is descriptive feedback?

only telling the learner what they did wrong

What is knowledge of results?

verbal information about the success of an action with respect to the environmental goal (telling the basketball player he made the shot)

How can bandwidth feedback be used as a strategy to reduce the dependency producing property of extrinsic feedback?

when feedback isn't given all the time, only when the performance falls outside the acceptable parameters
