“…With this method, the nature of the augmented feedback is based on a specified bandwidth or an acceptable range of error. Bandwidth feedback is a technique that reduces the relative frequency of feedback ( Magill, 1993 ; Lee and Maraj, 1994 ; Butler et al, 1996 ; Smith et al, 1997 ). …”

“…It is well documented that bandwidth feedback is highly effective for learning simple motor skills during physical practice ( Butler et al, 1996 ; Cauraugh et al, 1993 ; Lee and Carnahan 1990 ; Park et al, 2000 ; Sherwood, 1988 ; Smith et al, 1997 ) and observational practice ( Badets and Blandin, 2005 ; Badets and Blandin, 2010 ). However, experimental evidence of the effectiveness of applying bandwidth feedback and supporting the guidance hypothesis in learning complex motor skills is somewhat ambiguous ( Baudry et al, 2006 ; Lai et al, 2000 ; Maslovat et al, 2009 ; Smith et al, 1997 ; Swinnen et al, 1997 ; Wulf et al, 1998 ).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of two different frequencies of feedback during the process of learning a complex gymnastic skill, the round-off salto backward tucked. Thirty male acrobats participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to two groups: B - bandwidth feedback (n=15) or C - 100% feedback (n=15). Group B was provided with error information regarding the key elements of movement techniques only (bandwidth feedback). Our research demonstrates the advantage of augmented feedback information related to errors in the key elements. Information about errors in the key elements during learning a complex gymnastic skill prevents the gymnast from becoming overwhelmed, which promotes better motor control. These results provide support for the generalisation of bandwidth feedback principles to a complex task. Our research shows that the guidance hypothesis can also be tested in practical settings for a complex movement task.

“…Many studies compared the effects of thin with wide bandwidth feedback [7,8,9,11,12,13,14]. In general the results showed wide bandwidth improves skill acquisition when compared to thin bandwidth.…”

“…In other words, when one adopts bandwidth feedback, the learner performance determines the moment feedback should be provided [8]. Consequently, quantitative information that conducts planning corrections combination with qualitative information that conducts to stable behavior improved skill acquisition [9].…”

Abstract:The bandwidth knowledge of results in one way of supplying feedback during practice, which provides control over the amount and type of information given to the subject. The present study investigated the best distribution of this information throughout the practice. A task requiring to perform a sequence of movements on the keypad, in order to achieve a specific the target time. The experiment consisted of three stages: a) acquisition (50 attempts); b) transfer, ten minutes after the end of the acquisition (10 attempts); c) retention, twenty-four hours after the end of the acquisition (10 attempts). Participants were distributed into four groups: wide bandwidth, with a range of 20%; narrow bandwidth, with a range of 5%; increasing bandwidth, with a range of 5% on the first half of the acquisition and 20% on the second half; and decreasing bandwidth, with a range of 20% on the first half and 5% on the second one. The results show thin bandwidth improves performance consistency.
