Sample questions from Guidance and Feedback
Answer each one closed book first, then open the answer.
-
Verbal and visual guidance
Give two advantages of verbal guidance.
Show the answer
Verbal guidance can be given instantly during play, even from a distance. Verbal guidance can also be added to a demonstration to highlight its key points. -
Verbal and visual guidance
What are the limitations of posters and charts as visual guidance?
Show the answer
A poster or chart shows a still image, so it cannot show the timing and flow of a movement. A learner may misread a static picture of a dynamic skill. -
Manual and mechanical guidance
Give two disadvantages of manual guidance.
Show the answer
A learner can become dependent on the coach's support. The coach's hands change how the movement feels, so the learner's intrinsic feedback may be misleading. -
Manual and mechanical guidance
A trampolinist learns a somersault in a twisting belt attached to an overhead rig. What type of guidance is this, and why is it used?
Show the answer
The rig is mechanical guidance. The rig lets the trampolinist attempt a dangerous rotation safely, which reduces fear. -
Intrinsic, extrinsic, positive and negative feedback
Give one advantage and one disadvantage of extrinsic feedback.
Show the answer
Extrinsic feedback gives a beginner information they cannot yet sense for themselves. A performer can become dependent on extrinsic feedback and fail to develop their own kinaesthetic awareness. -
Intrinsic, extrinsic, positive and negative feedback
Give one disadvantage of positive feedback.
Show the answer
Praise given too freely loses its value and can seem insincere. Positive feedback alone may not tell a performer how to correct an error. -
Knowledge of performance and knowledge of results
Why is knowledge of performance more valuable for an elite performer?
Show the answer
An elite performer usually achieves the outcome, so improvement depends on fine technical detail. Knowledge of performance targets that detail directly. -
Knowledge of performance and knowledge of results
Why is feedback most effective when given soon after the performance?
Show the answer
The feel of the movement is still fresh in the performer's short-term memory. The performer can then link the feedback directly to that attempt.

How the guide is worked
Answering a question from memory stores it far better than reading the answer again. The guide runs that as a fixed procedure on one subtopic at a time, about twenty minutes a session.
-
Step 1 · Closed book
Cover the answers. Work through one subtopic and write down what you can. Leave blanks where you have nothing.
-
Step 2 · Open book
Go back to the top. Read each printed answer and write it out in full, including the ones you had right.
-
Step 3 · Closed book again
Same questions, same order, from memory. The gap between pass one and pass three is the session result.
Read the full method, the return schedule and the research behind it.
