What is types of feedback?
Show answer
Intrinsic feedback comes from the learner's own sensory experience - what the movement felt like, looked like, sounded like. Cognitive learners cannot use intrinsic feedback effectively because they lack the internal reference. Autonomous learners use intrinsic feedback as their primary input.
What is types of practice?
Show answer
Massed practice is long sessions with short rest periods. Useful for blocking technical work close to competition or when limited time is available.
What is q1?
Show answer
Name the three stages of skill acquisition in order and state one characteristic of each. [3 marks]
