Which combination of feedback sources is used to evaluate and guide skill learning?

• A. Intrinsic Only
• B. Verbal Feedback Only
• C. Intrinsic Feedback and Augmented
• D. Augmented Only

Answer: (C)

Feedback in skill learning comes from two sources: intrinsic information the learner senses during and after movement, and augmented feedback provided by others or by tools. Using both gives a complete picture: intrinsic feedback lets you feel your body's movements and tune timing and coordination, while augmented feedback highlights errors you might not notice on your own and can quantify aspects of performance. When you combine these sources, you can compare your own sensations with external insights, calibrate what “correct” feels like, and adjust practice to close gaps. Relying only on intrinsic feedback might leave some errors undiscovered, especially early in learning, while relying only on augmented feedback can make you dependent on external cues or disrupt your development of internal perception. Therefore, the combination of intrinsic feedback and augmented feedback best supports evaluating progress and guiding skill improvement.
