Augmented feedback can alter motor performance. This study examines whether, in the short term, positive normative feedback influences the execution of a closed motor task differently compared to negative normative feedback and exact augmented feedback. Using a double-blind experimental design, 68 students (73.5% female, Mage = 21.63, SD = 2.88) were randomized into three groups: G1 - Exact Augmented Feedback Group (𝑛 = 21), G2 - Positive Normative Feedback Group (𝑛 = 24), and G3 - Negative Normative Feedback Group (𝑛 = 23). The dependent variable was the score obtained in a dart-throwing task. Results showed that participants receiving positive normative feedback achieved higher scores than those receiving negative normative feedback or exact augmented feedback. These differences persisted in retention and transfer tests conducted 24 hours after the practice phase but only between the positive NF group and the exact AF group. Meanwhile, the exact augmented feedback group performed similarly to the negative normative feedback group. These findings have practical implications for training and execution in motor tasks, potentially contributing to enhanced athletic performance.
