Which describes terminal intrinsic feedback?

• A. Available at the end of movement
• B. Available during movement
• C. Perception or taking in information
• D. Information is received from all sensory systems during and after the task

Answer: (A)

Terminal intrinsic feedback is the sensory information you perceive after you finish a movement. It’s intrinsic because it comes from your own senses (proprioception, vision, vestibular feedback, etc.), not from an external source. It’s terminal because it’s available at the end of the movement, guiding your next attempt rather than influencing the action as you’re performing it.

For example, after a gait cycle on the horse, you become aware of where your trunk and limbs ended up and how the finish felt. That information helps you plan adjustments for subsequent movements. This differs from concurrent feedback, which you receive during the movement, and from more general or all-sensory descriptions that don’t specify the timing. Therefore, the best description is feedback that is available at the end of the movement.
