Augmented Feedback

• Categories of Augmented Feedback

  • Knowledge of Performance
  • Knowledge of Results
• Knowledge of Performance (KP)

  • gives information about the movement characteristics that led to a performance outcome
• Knowledge of results (KR)

  • gives information about the outcome or achievement of a goal
• Knowledge of performance and results:

  • Purpose: facilitate goal achievement & motivate learning
  • Early learning: relatively greater reliance on Knowledge of performance
  • Later in learning: more and more knowledge of results is used
• Frequency of Augmented Feedback:

  • Delivering augmented feedback after every movement attempt is generally not desired as:
  • this may result in attention-capacity overload
  • produce learning that is dependent upon the feedback = ‘a crutch’ essential to performance
  • less feedback encourages more beneficial learning strategies (e.g. active cognitive and problem solving strategies)
