Internal (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic)
Internal
Internal feedback is received during the execution of the skill. This feedback is given from the proprioceptive sensors. These senses help develop a kinesthetic sense for a movement and allow the athlete to differentiate between effective skill execution and error. For example, when passing a netball the athlete feels the ball in their hands and is aware of the ball leaving the hand as they can see, feel and hear it moving through the air and being caught by another player. |
External
External feedback comes from outsides sources other than the athlete. This information may come from a coach, applause from the crowd or the result at the end of a match. One type of external feedback is augmented feedbacks. This is when the feedback is not given immediately after the skill is performed. Rather it is provided later as a way of illustrating a point. Visual aids such as videos of the athlete’s performance may be used to further demonstrate a point. |
