Term
feedback
Definition
all sources of info available to a performer regarding the consequences of a practice attempt

includes both sensory info and info provided through external sources.
Term
sensory feedback
Definition
info available to a performer concerning the consequences of a practice attempt provided directly through the performer's various sensory systems
Term
proprioceptive feedback
Definition
sensory feedback concerning the visual, auditory, and tactile consequences of a practice attempt
Term
exteroceptive feedback
Definition
sensory feedback concerning features of the environment in which a skill is performed
Term
augmented feedback
Definition
info about the performance of a skill

supplied by a source external to the performer

supplements or adds to the performer's sensory feedback
Term
verbal augmented feedback
Definition
augmented feedback that is either delivered verbally or is capable of being verbalized even when provided in a nonverbal form.
Term
nonverbal augmented feedback
Definition
augmented feedback not capable of being verbalized

content is too complex or abstract; must be presented in another fashion
Term
knowledge of results (KR)
Definition
augmented feedback concerning the results or outcome of a movement response
Term
knowledge of performance (KP)
Definition
augmented feedback concerning the causes of a movement outcome

typically provided in terms of bodily mechanics.
Term
concurrent feedback
Definition
augmented feedback delivered during the execution of the motor skill for which it is provided
Term
terminal feedback
Definition
augmented feedback delivered after the completion of the motor skill for which it is provided (can be either immediate or delayed)
Term
distinct feedback
Definition
augmented feedback provided for a single motor response
Term
accumulated feedback
Definition
augmented feedback provided for a series of motor responses at the completion of the responses in the series
Term
Functions of augmented feedback
Definition
information: informs learners about the outcomes of their actions as well as the correctness or incorrectness of their movement patterns

motivation: energizes learners and encourages them to continue exerting efforts to accomplish learning goals

reinforcement: promotes correct behaviors and discourages continuance of incorrect behaviors

guidanceacts to guide learners toward correct actions; can create dependency on feedback as a source of info
Term
reinforcement
Definition
any change in an organism's surroundings that occurs regularly when the organism behaves in a certain way (change is contingent on the response)
Term
law of effect
Definition
an organism will tend to repeat behaviors resulting in desirable consequences and avoid behaviors resulting in undesirable consequences.
Term
positive reinforcement
Definition
occurs when a response is followed by a desired consequence and increases likelihood that the response will be repeated in similar situations in the future
Term
punishment
Definition
occurs when a response is followed by an undesirable consequences and decreases likelihood that the response will be repeated in similar situations in the future
Term
negative reinforcement
Definition
occurs when a response is followed by the removal of undesirable consequences previously associated with the response and increases likelihood that the response will be repeated in similar situations in the future
Term
sandwich technique
Definition
method of providing augmented feedback in which a negative or punishing reinforcing statement is immediately preceded and followed by a positively reinforcing statement.
Term
intermittent reinforcement
Definition
reinforcement of a response after some but not all instances in which a contingency for reinforcement is present

often more powerful in shaping behavior than reinforcement provided in every contingent situation
Term
qualitative feedback
Definition
augmented feedback supplying information about the direction of an error (too much, too little, too fast, too slow) without reference to the magnitude of the error
Term
quantitative feedback
Definition
augmented feedback that supplies information that supplies info about both the direction and magnitude (in numerical terms) of an error; considered more precise than qualitative feedback
Term
descriptive feedback
Definition
knowledge of performance describing errors a learner makes, but not the causes of the errors or suggested correction
Term
prescriptive feedback
Definition
knowledge of performance concerning both an error made by a performer and suggestion for correcting the error.
Term
erroneous feedback
Definition
augmented feedback provided in an intentionally incorrect and misleading fashion
Term
KR-delay interval
Definition
the period of time between the completion of a practice attempt and the presentation of augmented feedback
Term
post KR-delay interval
Definition
the period of time between the presentation of augmented feedback and the beginning of the next practice attempt of the skill for which it was provided.
Term
interresponse interval
Definition
the total time between the completion of a practice attempt for which KR is provided and the beginning of the next practice attempt

interresponse interval = KR-delay + Post KR-delay
Term
absolute frequency of feedback
Definition
total number of practice attempts for which KR is provided during a specific pratice period
Term
relative frequency of feedback
Definition
proportion of practice attempts in a series of attempts for which KR is provided (equal to the percentage of attempts on which KR is given)

Peak retention is obtained when relative frequency of feedback is between 40-60%
Term
guidance hypothesis
Definition
high relative frequencies of augmented feedback can lead to a learner's overreliance on the guidance properties of feedback to the detriment of optimal learning outcomes
Term
Reasons why high relative frequencies of feedback prove less beneficial to learning than a reduced schedule of relative feedback frequency
Definition
If feedback is provided frequently, it may become part of the task itself in much the same way as any other sensory stimulus or cue present during acquisition.

Frequent feedback encourages learners to make too many corrections during practice; failing to produce stable and consistent behaviors.

Frequent feedback may interfere with or block other important processing activities important to learning.
Term
Maladaptive short-term correction
Definition
inappropriate corrections in the production of a motor skill resulting when relatively minor movement errors are corrected through the provision of augmented feedback
Term
error detection capability
Definition
the capacity of individuals to detect and correct their own errors as a result of sensory sources of feedback
Term
feedback fading
Definition
augmented feedback schedule in which feedback is provided most frequently early in practice and then gradually reduced in frequency as practice continues
Term
Summary feedback
Definition
provision of augmented feedback for each practice attempt in a series of attempts, but only after the series is completed.
Term
bandwidth feedback
Definition
augmented feedback provided only when performance error falls outside of a predetermined criterion of correctness
Term
average feedback
Definition
augmented feedback provided at the completion of a series of practice attempts regarding the average performance of the attempts (often as a numerical average)
Term
intuitive feedback
Definition
intentional fading of augmented feedback to a learner based on an instructor's perception of the learner's needs and capabilities
Term
Learner-requested feedback
Definition
technique for providing feedback only when a learner requests it

other names: self controlled, self-requested, self-regulated feedback
