◉ Instructors should avoid giving positive feedback when using
negative feedback as punishment. (T/F) Answer: False
◉ Feedback functions as negative reinforcement when it strengthens
undesirable behavior. (T/F) Answer: False
◉ Biofeedback devices provide intrinsic feedback to the player. (T/F)
Answer: False
◉ After executing a motor skill, a player will evaluate the skill
movements by comparing the results of the performance to his or her
expectations for the performance. (T/F) Answer: True
◉ Knowledge feedback will influence the direction of a student's
efforts but is unable to influence the student's arousal and motivation
level. (T/F) Answer: False
◉ Because beginners have no established motor program, they can
easily determine if they performed the skill movements as planned.
(T/F) False Answer:
,◉ Augmented feedback given immediately after skill performance is
considered positive reinforcement if the teacher or coach perceives
the feedback as rewarding. (T/F) Answer: False
◉ What function of feedback energizes and directs student behavior
toward achieving a goal? Answer: Motivation
◉ What is the defining property of feedback that functions as
reinforcement? Answer: Strengthens desired behavior
◉ What is an example of intrinsic feedback serving as negative
reinforcement? Answer: Swing feels bad, feedback not desired, avoid
that feel in the future
◉ What should teachers expect their students to learn from the
feedback they provide for the purpose of improving or maintaining
performance? Answer: Explanation of the causes, how to change it
and why
◉ What should students learn from instruction given to improve or
maintain performance? Answer: How it felt, error detections and why
◉ A teacher watches a student leave a ten-foot putt short and then
informs her that the putt needed to be hit with more speed. What type
of feedback is this an example of? Answer: Redundant Augmented
, ◉ The teacher's role is to help the student improve his own ability to
do what? Answer: Detect Errors
◉ A teacher shows frustration when a student performs a skill
incorrectly. To avoid this response in the future, the student focuses on
correcting the skill movement. What is this an example of? Answer:
Negative reinforcement
◉ Augmented feedback that functions as positive or negative
reinforcement can have the same result. (T/F) Answer: True
◉ When a training aid is used correctly, and skill performance suffers,
the concurrent KP could be directing the student's attention away from
relevant feedback. (T/F) Answer: True
◉ Augmented feedback used as punishment is most effective when
the desired change is personal. (T/F) Answer: False
◉ Research suggests that when a student has less control over the
learning process, the student is more engaged. (T/F) Answer: False
◉ Knowledge of performance feedback can improve performance
without learning taking place. (T/F) Answer: True
◉ A good reason for delivering only non-error augmented feedback is
so the student will become more aware of cause and effect
relationships within the swing. (T/F) Answer: False
