2.1- Skill Acquisition- Memory Models Flashcards
Importance of memory in sport
Develop schema, enhance performance
Who came up with the multi-store model of memory?
Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)
Encoding
the processing of information into the memory system, converting info into codes
Storage
Retaining info
Retrieval
the process of getting information out of memory storage
short term sensory store
It is responsible for storing vast amounts of sensory information only long enough for some of it to be abstracted and further processed.
-0.25 second duration
-large capacity
-filtered by selective attention
Short term memory
activated memory that holds a few items briefly before the information is stored or forgotten
- capacity: 5-9 items
-deals with present
-working memory
Long term memory
the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system. Includes knowledge, skills, and experiences.
-capacity: unlimited
-duration: a lifetime
-stored as motor programs and schema
selective attention
Relevant info is processed and passed on and irrelevant info is lost or forgotten
Craik and Lockhart’s levels of processing model
Suggests the more deeply an item is encoded, the more meaning it has, and the better it is remembered. Looks at how deeply we consider or process info
3 levels of processing verbal information
Structural, Phonetic and Semantic
What happens when a skill is practiced over and over?
Becomes grooved, overlearned and habitual
Strategies to improve retention
Meaningful, practice, association, understanding, simplicity
Advantages of multi store model
Simplifies the memory processes, explains how brain damage= disfunctional memory
Disadvantages of multi store model
Too simple as it doesn’t give an explanation for how or why we remember
