Answer-True
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) - Answer-False
,Augmented feedback given immediately after skill performance is considered positive reinforcement if
the teacher or coach perceives the feedback as rewarding. (T/F) - Answer-True
What function of feedback energizes and directs student behavior toward achieving a goal? - Answer-

What is the defining property of feedback that functions as reinforcement? - Answer-Desirable
Response
What is an example of intrinsic feedback serving as negative reinforcement? - Answer-Bad feeling
swing, resulting in a drive OB
What should teachers expect their students to learn from the feedback they provide for the purpose of
improving or maintaining performance? - Answer-Knowledge to understand error, detect error, correct
error
What should students learn from instruction given to improve or maintain performance? - Answer--
Knowledge relevant for learning
-Increase in motivation
-Correct skill movements
-Intrinsic/Augmented Feedback
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-Augmented Feedback
The teacher's role is to help the student improve his own ability to do what? - Answer-Understand,

(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 or cause and effect relationships within the swing. (T/F) - Answer-False
Generally speaking, advanced players need less descriptive knowledge of performance feedback than
beginning players. (T/F) - Answer-False
Beginners typically benefit more from video feedback than advanced players. (T/F) - Answer-False
When practicing, changing camera angles by only a few degrees between swings can be more harmful
than if the player had not used video feedback. (T/F) - Answer-True
