‘Pat on the back’ is primarily an example of this type of feedback:
Non-verbal positive feedback
Feedback can be given verbally (spoken words) or non-verbally (gestures, facial expressions, touch). A pat on the back is a physical gesture conveying approval without words.
Since it praises and reinforces the performer, it is positive; since it uses touch rather than speech, it is non-verbal.
General positive feedback is verbal praise such as “Good job”; corrective feedback tells what to change; specific feedback names the exact aspect of performance. A pat on the back does none of these through words.
Hence, the answer is Non-verbal positive feedback.
