Feedback
Feedback
- Feedback can be more effective if it directs the performer’s attention away from his or her own movements and to the effects of those movements
- Avoid cueing specific movements unless a significant error is being made
- Allowing the learner to view their movement in a mirror or through video can assist with improving performance
This feedback should be tapered so the learner does not become reliant on it
- The frequency of feedback should be tapered as learner progresses (ie provide feedback every 3 attempts instead of after each transfer)
- The goal of feedback is to foster error detection and self-correction as learning advances
Other Methods to Improve Retention
Dosing and Timing
Speed
- Speed and accuracy are inversely related
- Initially focus on the learner performing the task accurately
