Which statement correctly differentiates intrinsic and augmented feedback and provides an example of when each is most effective?

Intrinsic feedback comes from the coach's cues; augmented feedback comes from external sources.

Intrinsic feedback comes from the performer's own senses; augmented feedback is provided by the coach (e.g., video analysis). Intrinsic is useful during performance; augmented can help learning.

Feedback from within the performer’s own body and senses is intrinsic feedback. It comes from proprioception, kinesthetic feel, and vision during the movement, helping you adjust right away based on what you perceive about your own movement and its outcome. For instance, in a tennis stroke you sense whether your contact and follow-through feel correct and whether the ball goes where you intend.

Augmented feedback is external information provided by others or devices, such as a coach giving verbal cues or a video analysis showing your technique. This kind of feedback is especially valuable for learning because it can highlight details you might not notice on your own and guide your improvement after or during practice using models or comparisons.

The strongest answer captures both parts: intrinsic feedback arising from your own senses and augmented feedback delivered by an external source (like video analysis), with intrinsic feedback being most useful during performance and augmented feedback aiding learning and refinement.

Intrinsic feedback is about outcomes; augmented feedback describes movement patterns.

Intrinsic feedback is irrelevant; augmented feedback is always better.
