2.3.3
Types of feedback to optimise performance: intrinsic; extrinsic; concurrent; terminal
2.3.4
Interpretation and analysis of graphical representation of data associated with feedback on performance

2. Types of feedback
Feedback is given to a performer about the quality of their work…
Can happen DURING or AFTER an event
Can be from the PERFORMER themselves or from SOMEONE ELSE
All in the aim of improving performance by..
Correcting errors made
Reinforcing correct action

3. Task
Think back to your last training session or match you played… What feedback were you given in relation to your performance? How was it given? When was it given?

4. Intrinsic feedback Feedback given from within the performer
Sense Organs within your body called Proprioceptors give brain information about position of the body
Kinaesthetic sense-Knowing if a skill feels correct
Not possible as a beginner as you don’t know what the skill should feel like
Valuable as it allows performer to correct own errors

5. Task
Extend your arms fully out to your side Close your eyes Try to bring your arms straight out in front of you so your index fingers together. Now repeat but try to see how close your can get them without them touching What information are you receiving?

6. Extrinsic feedback
Feedback given from outside of the performer Usually a Coach or Teacher but can also be a peer Essential when a performer is first learning the skill as they aren’t able to correct their own errors Normally given in verbal form concentrating on a specific teaching point

7. Concurrent feedback
Given whilst the performer is still completing the skill
Calling out a coaching point during the movement
Helps to add concentration towards that point
E.g. Reminding a Tennis player to extend to their full height when striking the ball
Can also be Intrinsic, you know when a skills feel correct whilst performing
Alan Pardew

8. Terminal feedback
Given after the performance has finished Might be used as they aren’t allowed to give feedback during performance- Tennis Might be used because the movement is too quick to provide feedback Can also be Intrinsic, you know if a skills felt correct after performing

9. Task
For each of the following explain which type(s) of feedback could/would be used and why…
Professional basketball player shooting a free-throw
Beginner learning to drive a golf ball
Table tennis return of serve

10. Which type of feedback to use?
Ability of the performer
More able can rely on intrinsic rather than needing a coach
More able can process concurrent feedback
Type of skill being performed
Complex skill may be difficult to give concurrent feedback for
If the skill is completed quickly then concurrent feedback is difficult to give
Where is the skill being performed
If during a competition concurrent may not be possible
