The document outlines various types of feedback in performance improvement, including intrinsic, extrinsic, terminal, concurrent, and positive feedback. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, impacting skill development and learning processes. Feedback can enhance performance by providing guidance, motivation, and opportunities for self-correction, but can also hinder independent learning if over-relied upon.

TYPES OF

FEEDBACK
CARLTON MUSENZE
FEEDBACK

• Feedback is information received by a performer about their


performance, helping them improve skills and techniques.
INTRINSIC FEEDBACK

• Intrinsic feedback is the information received from within the performer’s body during or
after a movement.
Examples:
• Ryan feeling his bad body position during a somersault.

• A footballer sensing they have hit the ball badly.

• Advantages:
1) Immediate and continuous.
2) Helps in skill improvement.
3) Encourages independent learning and self-correction.
• Disadvantages:
1) Beginners may struggle as they lack developed kinaesthetic awareness.
2) Can be inaccurate if the performer has poor technique or lacks experience.
EXTRINSIC FEEDBACK

• Extrinsic feedback is information received from external sources, such as coaches,


teammates, or technology, after or during a performance.
Examples:
• A coach telling a sprinter to lift their knees higher.

• A video replay showing a tennis player’s incorrect swing.

Advantages:
1) Provides clear guidance for improvement.
2) Helps beginners learn correct technique.
3) Can boost motivation and confidence.

Disadvantages:
1) Over relying may stop independent learning.
2) Feedback quality depends on the source (unqualified coaches may give poor advice).
3) Bad feedback execution can lead to demotivation (coach shouting at performer).
TERMINAL FEEDBACK

• Terminal feedback is information given to a performer after a skill or performance has been completed.

Examples:
• A footballer watching a video replay of their penalty kick.
• A sprinter receiving feedback on their race technique after finishing.

• Advantages:
1) Allows for detailed analysis and correction.
2) Useful for beginners who need clear guidance.
3) Helps reinforce correct techniques and strategies.
• Disadvantages:
1) Delayed compared to concurrent feedback, so immediate correction is not possible.
2) May be less effective if too much time passes before the next attempt.
3) Performers must remember and apply the feedback later.
CONCURRENT FEEDBACK

• Concurrent feedback is information given to a performer during the execution of a skill or performance.

Examples:
• A coach shouting instructions to a runner during a race.
• A swimmer feeling their stroke is unbalanced and adjusting mid-swim.
• A cyclist using a heart rate monitor to adjust pacing.

Advantages:
1) Immediate corrections can be made.
2) Helps maintain technique and performance consistency.
3) Beneficial in fast-paced sports where quick adjustments are needed.
Disadvantages:
1) Can be distracting if too much information is given.
2) May be difficult for beginners to process while performing.
3) Not always possible in all sports (e.g., gymnastics routines).
POSITIVE FEEDBACK

• Positive feedback is reinforcement given to a performer when they execute an activity correctly,
encouraging repetition of the correct action.
Examples:
• A coach praising a footballer for a good pass.
• A football feeling satisfied after scoring a perfect freekick.
• A swimmer receiving a thumbs-up from their coach for a strong dive.
• Advantages:
1) Boosts motivation and confidence.
2) Reinforces correct technique.
3) Encourages repetition of successful performance.
• Disadvantages:
1) Overuse by coach may lead to the performer taking it for granted.
2) If undeserved, it can reinforce poor technique.
3) Some athletes may require constructive criticism as well.
