Question 1

It is preferable to give prescriptive verbal KP to beginners rather than descriptive verbal KP.

Accepted Answer

Prescriptive verbal KP provides specific instructions to the learner on what to do to improve their performance, whereas descriptive verbal KP simply describes what happened or what needs to be done without providing specific instructions. Beginners may benefit more from prescriptive verbal KP as they may not have the knowledge or understanding to interpret descriptive verbal KP and apply it to their performance.

Question 2

The _______ hypothesis proposes that augmented feedback on every practice trial has a positive effect on practice performance,but has a negative effect on learning the skill.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The _______ hypothesis proposes that augmented feedback...

Question 3

Giving augmented feedback to a beginner only when he or she requests it is better than giving the augmented feedback on every trial.

Accepted Answer

Providing feedback only upon request allows the beginner to have more control over their learning process and encourages them to actively engage in the feedback-seeking process, which can lead to a more effective and efficient learning experience. It also prevents over-dependence on external feedback and promotes self-evaluation and reflection.

Question 4

When augmented feedback is given while a person is performing a skill or movement,it is known as ________ augmented feedback.

Accepted Answer

The answer of When augmented feedback is given while a...

Question 5

Verbal KP statements that specify what a person needs to do to correct a performance error are called ________ verbal KP statements.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Verbal KP statements that specify what a...

Question 6

Research has shown that it is possible to learn some motor skills without receiving any type of augmented feedback.

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that for some types of motor skills, such as simple balance tasks or some types of tapping exercises, individuals are able to learn and improve without any type of augmented feedback. However, for other motor skills, such as complex sports movements, music performance or surgical techniques, augmented feedback is typically necessary to facilitate learning and improvement.

Question 7

If you see where your golf ball goes after you hit it,the visual feedback you receive is known as KR.

Accepted Answer

The visual feedback you receive after hitting a golf ball is known as Knowledge of Performance (KP), not Knowledge of Results (KR). KR refers to feedback about the outcome of a movement, such as the score or distance the ball traveled.

Question 8

When a beginner receives erroneous KR after each practice trial even though he or she could learn the skill without KR,the beginner typically ignores the KR.

Accepted Answer

Beginners tend to rely on knowledge of results (KR) to guide their learning and may become confused or incorporate incorrect adjustments if the KR is erroneous, potentially hindering their skill acquisition rather than ignoring it.

Question 9

Concurrent augmented feedback always has negative effects on motor skill learning.

Accepted Answer

The statement is false. While concurrent augmented feedback may have negative effects on motor skill learning in certain situations, it can also be beneficial in others. It ultimately depends on the individual and the specific nature of the task and feedback provided. Research has shown that a combination of augmented and intrinsic feedback can be effective in promoting motor learning.

Question 10

When a computer graphic showing arm velocity during the performance of a skill is shown to a person,the type of augmented feedback is called ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of When a computer graphic showing arm velocity...

Question 11

Learners will always become dependent on concurrent augmented feedback,regardless of how the feedback is displayed or presented.

Accepted Answer

While augmented feedback can be beneficial for learning, research has shown that learners can become too dependent on it if it is provided too frequently or too consistently. Therefore, it is important to gradually reduce the amount of augmented feedback provided during skill acquisition in order to promote long-term retention and transfer of the skill.

Question 12

Research shows that you can hinder the learning of a motor skill by a beginner by delaying the augmented feedback too long.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Research shows that you can hinder the...

Question 13

The only reason to give augmented feedback to a beginner learning a motor skill is to facilitate their achievement of the action goal of the skill.

Accepted Answer

Augmented feedback for beginners learning a motor skill serves multiple purposes beyond facilitating the achievement of the action goal, including motivation, reinforcement, and providing information about errors and how to correct them.

Question 14

Research shows that when augmented feedback is given to a beginner on every practice trial,it can lead to the beginner becoming ________ on it,which typically leads to poor performance when the augmented feedback is not available.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Research shows that when augmented feedback is...

Question 15

Augmented feedback that tells a beginner those aspects of the performance that were correct can serve a motivational role to encourage the person to continue to work on achieving the task goal.

Accepted Answer

The statement is true. Providing positive feedback detailing what was done correctly can motivate beginners to continue working towards achieving their task goal.

Question 16

Is the KR statement "your arm moved too fast" an example of "qualitative" or "quantitative" KP? ________

Accepted Answer

The answer of Is the KR statement "your arm moved...

Question 17

Quantitative KR ultimately leads to better motor skill learning than qualitative KR.

Accepted Answer

Quantitative KR provides specific information about the accuracy and progress of the movement, which allows learners to make precise adjustments and improve their motor skills more effectively than qualitative KR, which only provides general feedback.

Question 18

When EMG or heart rate is given to people as augmented feedback,the general term used to describe this type of augmented feedback is ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of When EMG or heart rate is given...

Question 19

The interval of time after the completion of a response and before KR is given is the ________ interval.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The interval of time after the completion...

Question 20

The technique used by Winstein and Schmidt (1990)that yielded the most effective means of reducing the frequency of augmented feedback was called the ________ technique.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The technique used by Winstein and Schmidt...
