Which timing strategy uses feedback only when an error occurs?

• A. Bandwidth Feedback Timing
• B. Summary Feedback Timing
• C. Self Selected Feedback Timing
• D. Fading Feedback Timing

Answer: (A)

Feedback timing focused on a bandwidth uses feedback only when the performance error goes beyond a predefined tolerance. You set an acceptable range of error, and if the learner’s error is inside that range, no feedback is given. When the error exceeds the band, feedback is supplied to guide correction. This approach helps learners develop better error detection and self-correction, while avoiding constant feedback that can make them dependent on it. The other strategies differ in when feedback is provided: some give feedback after a fixed number of trials regardless of error, some let the learner request feedback, and others reduce feedback gradually over time independent of performance.
