Chapter 15: Augmented Feedback Exam
Questions and Answers Graded A+
motor learning: - Correct answer-In the case of closed-loop motor control, sensory
feedback provides information through which the outgoing motor commands are
evaluated. If the resulting action was not 100% consistent with the expected
consequence (i.e., the intention), then the motor control areas of the brain can use
the feedback to modify the existing motor pathways (or motor programs) for
subsequent motor actions.
This process of adaptation is called motor learning, and without feedback no
learning can take place.
However, when individuals learn motor skills, ... - Correct answer-Their own
sensory (or task-intrinsic) feedback will not be the only feedback they receive
(unless they try to learn the skill completely on their own).
Augmented Feedback (AF): - Correct answer-It is when the individuals learning
motor skills receive extrinsic feedback from the instructor.

,Sources of feedback may be either ... - Correct answer-Intrinsic or extrinsic:Task
intrinsic (TI) = sensory feedbackExtrinsic = augmented feedback (AF)
Types of Task-Intrinsic Feedback: - Correct answer-- visual
- Auditory
-Proprioceptive
- Tactile
Types of Augmented Feedback: - Correct answer-- Knowledge of Results
- Knowledge of Performance
With respect to content, any kind of augmented feedback can be placed in one of
two categories: - Correct answer-The feedback can be related to the outcome of the
performance or it can be related to various aspects of how the skill was performed
(i.e., the production of the outcome).
AF that involves providing information related to the outcome of the performance
is known as ... - Correct answer-knowledge of results (KR)
AF that provides information related to skill performance is known as ... - Correct
answer-knowledge of performance (KP)

, Knowledge of Results: - Correct answer-AF related to performance outcome.For
example, split times, completion stats (e.g., number of completed passes), scores
(gymnastics, diving, etc.).
Knowledge of Performance: - Correct answer-AF related to skill performance
production (i.e., skill related technical aspects).For example, stride rate/length,
angle-angle diagrams, joint ROM, angular velocity, trunk rotation, follow through,
etc. (i.e., various biomechanical aspects of skill performance).
Note that AF can be either ... - Correct answer-verbal or non-verbal
KR is more likely to be __________, whereas KP is more likely to be __________.
- Correct answer-non-verbal, verbal.
Given that KR involves feedback about performance outcome, which usually relies
on some kind of measurement or quantitative assessment, coaches and instructors
will find that the majority of the AF they provide to learners will be
__________________. - Correct answer-Verbal KP
__ is generally more effective than ___. - Correct answer-KP/KR
Verbal KP: - Correct answer-- Most of the AF that coaches and instructors provide
to learners will be verbal KP.
