A student reading her spin rate data from a launch monitor is an example of what type of augmented feedback?

• A. Intrinsic feedback
• B. Visual KP feedback
• C. Descriptive knowledge of performance
• D. Terminal augmented feedback

Answer: (D)

This item tests how augmented feedback is timed. Reading spin-rate data from a launch monitor is information supplied by an external source after the shot is complete, so it’s terminal augmented feedback. It isn’t intrinsic feedback, which would come from the golfer’s own senses during or after the movement. And while the data is read visually, it isn’t describing the movement pattern itself (that would be a form of knowledge of performance). Instead, it provides a numerical outcome of the swing after the fact, which is why terminal augmented feedback is the best fit.
