Sample Answer – Any 3 of the following or similar
- At what specific point in skill progression should coaches transition from predominantly knowledge of performance feedback to knowledge of results feedback for maximum technique development?
- How does the optimal ratio of augmented to task-intrinsic feedback change as swimmers progress from cognitive to associative to autonomous stages of learning?
- How does the timing of feedback (concurrent versus delayed) affect technique retention and transfer in different swimming strokes?
- How can coaches effectively develop swimmers’ ability to use task-intrinsic feedback for self-correction during performance?
- What specific verbal cues are most effective for providing knowledge of performance feedback across different swimming strokes and skill levels?
- How does feedback frequency affect skill acquisition differently in closed swimming skills (starts, turns) versus continuous swimming strokes?
