Bandwidth timing prescribes feedback to be delivered when?

• A. After every trial
• B. When error occurs
• C. Randomly
• D. Only during warm-up

Answer: (B)

Bandwidth feedback timing means you give feedback only when performance error exceeds a preset threshold. If the error stays within that bandwidth, feedback is withheld, encouraging the learner to rely on intrinsic cues and promoting better retention. That’s why delivering feedback when error occurs is the best choice: it targets only meaningful mistakes and avoids overloading the learner with constant feedback. Providing feedback after every trial is too frequent, random timing lacks structure, and feedback only during warm-up doesn’t support ongoing practice.
