Learning Aim 23

Input - This is the information from the environment e.g. what you see, hear and feel

DM- The brain processes the information and decides how to react to the input.

output- This is what happens as a result of your decision. A movement/action.

oKnowledge of performance and Knowledge of results

oContinuous and terminal

oExtrinsic and intrinsic

oPositive and negative

Knowledge of results (KR) - information with regards the result of the athlete's performance e.g. the sprinter's 100 metre time

Knowledge of performance (KP) - information about the technique and performance. This can be provided verbally from the coach or visually via video. e.g. an analysis of the sprinter's action or feedback to a diver about their somersault rotation

Terminal feedback - Information provided to the athlete before or after the performance

Continuous feedback - Information provided to the athlete during the performance

Extrinsic feedback - information not inherent in the movement itself but which improves intrinsic feedback. This is also known as augmented feedback.

Intrinsic feedback -information received by the athlete as a direct result of producing a movement through the kinaesthetic senses - feelings from muscles, joints and balance.

Positive feedback - Used to inform the athlete as to what was correct about the movement. Athletes need to know if a movement is correct as this provides the reference point for future execution of the movement. Positive feedback is essential in motivating athletes

Negative feedback - Used to inform the athlete as to what was incorrect about the movement. Negative feedback must include information on the action(s) required by the athlete to achieve the correct movement
