Question 1 Report

(a) Identify two types of extrinsic feedback. [2]

(b) Explain why positive feedback is important for a beginner learning a new skill. [2]

Answer Details

(a) Two types of extrinsic feedback (any two): [2]

  • Verbal feedback from a coach - spoken instructions, corrections or praise given by a coach or teacher. [1]
  • Visual feedback from a video replay - watching a recording of the performance to see technique. [1]
  • Knowledge of results - outcome data such as times, scores or distances. [1]
  • Knowledge of performance - technical feedback about the quality of the movement itself. [1]

(b) Positive feedback is important for a beginner because it helps to build confidence and motivation, encouraging the learner to keep trying rather than becoming disheartened. [1] It also reinforces the correct movements: when a beginner is told they did something right, they are more likely to repeat that correct action in the future, strengthening the movement pattern.
