When augmented feedback is reduced during practice, which form of feedback becomes more relied upon by the learner?

• A. Intrinsic feedback
• B. Augmented feedback
• C. Descriptive knowledge of performance
• D. Terminal augmented feedback

Answer: (A)

When augmented feedback is reduced, the learner leans more on what their own senses tell them about the movement. Intrinsic feedback is the information you get from your body during and after a movement—how the limb feels, the effort felt, the visual outcome, and proprioceptive cues. With less external coaching, you must detect errors and adjust based on these internal signals, which strengthens self-monitoring and error correction over time. The other options are forms of augmented feedback—external input from a coach, device, or description of the movement—so they’re reduced, not relied upon, as practice progresses.
