If a coach repeats the same correction after the learner has already identified it, this is an example of which type of feedback?

• A. Descriptive
• B. Prescriptive
• C. Non-error augmented feedback
• D. Redundant augmented feedback

Answer: (D)

Repeating the same correction after the learner has already identified the issue falls under redundant augmented feedback. This happens when feedback adds no new information and simply restates what the learner already knows, offering little to guide further improvement. It can slow progress by reinforcing dependence on external cues instead of encouraging self-monitoring. Descriptive feedback would describe what happened, prescriptive would give new steps to fix it, and non-error augmented feedback isn’t tied to the error itself. So the repetition fits redundant augmented feedback.
