basic information processing Flashcards
what is information processing?
-where you make decisions based on gathering information from your senses, such as what you see and hear. you prioritise the important stimuli to make a suitable decision
what are the 4 components on the information processing model?
input- decision making-output-feedback
what is input and how is it achieved?
it is the information received from your senses
-uses SELECTIVE ATTENTION- is when you focus on the important stimuli/information.
such as blocking out the noise from the crowd, and instead only focus on the speed and direction of the ball
what is decision making and how is it achieved?
the selection of appropriate responses using the information and what is stored in the long-term memory
uses long term and short term memory
long term- information that has been rehearsed and stored for future reference. the more its practised, the more information stored
short term- only lasts for a few seconds- it is working memory you use while completing a skill
what is output and how is it carried out?
the information you send to your muscles to carry out the response
what is feedback and how is it carried out?
a review of your response this can be intrinsic and extrinsic
intrinsic- is within the performer, and taken from how the skill felt based on feedback from muscles.
extrinsic- feedback from an outside source such as a coach and is based on how the skill looked.
