Which term describes information about the outcome of a performance, such as whether you were successful?

• A. Intrinsic feedback
• B. Knowledge of results
• C. External feedback
• D. Knowledge of performance

Answer: (B)

This item looks at how feedback about a performance is categorized by whether it tells you the result of the action. Knowledge of results is information about the outcome—did you succeed, miss, score, or reach the target. It answers the question of “did I achieve the goal?”, not how you moved.

Think of shooting a basketball and seeing whether it goes in. That outcome information is knowledge of results. It doesn’t describe the movement itself.

In contrast, intrinsic feedback is what you feel inside your body during or after the movement (like how the shot felt or whether you thought you followed the correct timing). Knowledge of performance would describe the quality of the movement pattern—things like elbow alignment or foot placement. External feedback is any outside source of information, such as a coach’s comment, that may include either result or technique details.

So the description given—information about the outcome of a performance, such as whether you were successful—matches knowledge of results.
