When should augmented feedback be given to a student that best receives information through hearing?

• A. Concurrently
• B. Immediately after every shot
• C. After a block of practice
• D. Only at the end

Answer: (A)

The timing of augmented feedback should fit how the learner best processes information. For someone who learns best through hearing, feedback delivered during the movement engages the auditory channel and supports online error detection and real-time corrections. Hearing cues as the action unfolds lets them adjust the swing or stroke as it happens, reinforcing the feedback when it’s most actionable. Waiting until after the shot or after a block delays guidance, disrupts rhythm, and makes it harder to apply feedback to the ongoing movement. Providing feedback only at the end misses opportunities for immediate correction and learning during the task. So, concurrent feedback leverages the learner’s auditory strengths to promote quicker, more accurate adjustments in practice.
