Which statement correctly distinguishes intrinsic versus augmented feedback?

• A. Augmented: externally presented feedback that supplements intrinsic information.
• B. Intrinsic: sensory information normally acquired during performance of a task.
• C. Augmented: sensory information from within the performer.
• D. Intrinsic: feedback supplied by an external coach.

Answer: (B)

Intrinsic feedback comes from the performer’s own senses during the act itself—the proprioceptive, visual, and vestibular information you naturally use to monitor and adjust movement in real time. Augmented feedback is information supplied from outside the performer, such as a coach’s instructions, video analysis, or biofeedback devices. Saying intrinsic feedback is sensory information normally acquired during performance captures the essence of its origin and timing, since it’s the information you get from performing the task itself. The other phrasings describe external sources or misattribute the source, which is why they don’t fit the intrinsic versus augmented distinction.
