Which learner requires demonstrations and uses knowledge of results only?

• A. Cognitive learner
• B. Associative learner
• C. Autonomous learner
• D. External feedback recipient

Answer: (A)

In motor learning, the early stage is about building a clear plan from watching a demonstration and using knowledge of results to guide improvements. A learner at this stage relies on demonstrations to form what the movement should look like, and checks outcomes by KR to see if the result matches the goal. Because their own feel for the movement isn’t reliable yet, they depend on external feedback to know what happened and what to change. As skills progress, learners use more internal cues and detailed knowledge of performance, and demonstrations become less essential. So this description best fits the cognitive learner. The other options describe stages where demonstration need diminishes or where feedback is analyzed differently, which isn’t what’s emphasized by “requires demonstrations and uses knowledge of results only.”
