the same result. (T/F) -- Answer ✔✔ True
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
, 18) 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 _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
change is personal. (T/F) -- Answer ✔✔ False
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
20) Research suggests that when a student has less control over the learning process,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the student is more engaged. (T/F) -- Answer ✔✔ False
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
21) Knowledge of performance feedback can improve performance without learning
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
taking place. (T/F) -- Answer ✔✔ True
_ _ _ _ _ _
22) A good reason for delivering only non-error augmented feedback is so the student
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
