What type of feedback is knowledge feedback considered to be?

Knowledge feedback is categorized as extrinsic feedback because it comes from an external source rather than originating from the individual's own sensory experiences. This type of feedback provides information about a player's performance, usually through observations made by coaches, instructors, or even technology such as swing analyzers. It aids the player in understanding how well they executed a skill or task by highlighting areas of strength and areas needing improvement.

In contrast, intrinsic feedback is derived from the individual’s personal sensations and perceptions, such as the feel of a swing or a putt. Negative and positive feedback refers to the nature of the response regarding performance; knowledge feedback doesn't inherently signal whether the feedback is good or bad, as it simply conveys information about performance outcomes. Therefore, knowledge feedback is best characterized as extrinsic, as it aims to help players adjust and enhance their skills based on external observations and data.
