Extrinsic/intrinsic

Cards (4)

  • Extrinsic feedback comes from others, e.g.
    a coach, teammates or the reactions of a crowd
  • Intrinsic feedback is a performer's own impressions of their performance, e.g
    how the muscles feel during a movement, what can be seen of the results of an action or a performer's emotional response to their performance
    • Extrinsic feedback tends to be more valuable to beginners as they may not have enough knowledge or experience to determine the quality of their own performance
    • Elite performers have enough experience to interpret intrinsic feedback so they are able to make use of both extrinsic and intrinsic feedback
