Positive feedback is...

• A. Delayed
• B. Neutral
• C. Focused on errors
• D. Prescriptive

Answer: (D)

Positive feedback reinforces what was done well and, importantly, provides specific, actionable steps for the next attempt. It not only rewards success but also prescribes how to reproduce that success or make a small improvement, which is why it’s viewed as prescriptive. This kind of feedback is typically immediate and targeted, helping the learner focus on the exact next actions to take. It’s not simply delayed, neutral, or focused only on errors.
