\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: Knowledge of performance is most appropriate for cognitive stage learners as it focuses on the quality of execution rather than results, helping them establish proper technique before focusing on outcomes.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Task-intrinsic feedback requires proprioceptive understanding which cognitive learners haven’t developed yet.
  • B is incorrect: Concurrent feedback during execution can distract cognitive learners who need to focus on basic mechanics.
  • D is incorrect: Knowledge of results without technique guidance is insufficient for cognitive learners who need specific feedback on proper execution.
