Document Summary
Different skills may need different types of feedback. How often should it be given? o o: when? o. Beside practice, feedback is the single most important variable for motor learning (schmidt & lee, 1999) Feedback comes in 2 general forms: task-intrinsic feedback. Sensory information that is naturally available during the task that provides feedback: augmented feedback. Comes from an external source (coach, teacher) that provides feedback to the performance. Knowledge of results (kr) is externally presented information about the outcome of the action, usually in relation to the task goal: focused on actual outcome of the performance. Examples: score on a dart board, number is knowledge of results. What is the role of kr and kp: to facilitate achievement of task goals (learning of a particular motor skill, to motivate the learner (self efficacy also) Are they always effective: less effective if task-intrinsic feedback is already robust, can hinder skill learning if:
