Examiners report
This was the most challenging question on the paper. More candidates selected D rather than B as the correct answer. This is a contextual question that requires candidates to choose the best answer which would generally apply. Decreasing the intensity of the stimuli would make the skill challenging to recognise and therefore practise. However, if there are less stimuli and there is more movement time to complete the skill. Performers will predict the expected movement and be able to pace themselves through the skill.
