basic information processing model Flashcards
What is information processing?
Making decisions
Gathering data from you display (senses)
Prioritising the most important stimuli.
Making a suitable decision (choosing a skill)
What are the four stages
Input
Decision making
Output
Feedback
Describe the input stage
It is information received via the senses (sight/sound/touch/intuition) from the environment
Describe the decision making stage
Data is analysed and a response selected
A performer accesses memories of similar experiences which helps them choose
This can hold 7 pieces of information for 60s
When it is rehearsed it goes to the long term memory
Experienced performers will have more relevant information.
Describe the output stage
The decision is acted on
Information is sent from the brain to the working muscles- telling them to contract to bring about a particular action
Describe the feedback stage
Data is received in response to the output
This can be used to inform future decisions
example of input
In cricket, performer might be aware of the path of ball and location of other players on the field
example of decision making
A cricketer may recall similar situation from previous match or from training, as well as the current path of the ball; this information will determine the type of catch chosen
example of output
Muscles in the cricketer’s arms and legs contract to allow them to move into position and catch the ball
example of feedback
The cricketer catches the ball and the spectators cheer, indicating successful decision making
short term memory
short term memory will be used to recall the details of the current situation at the moment
long term memory
Long term memory will be used for recall of learned skills and similar situations from the past
intrinsic feedback
Received from the performer through thoughts or emotions of can be kinaesthetic through receptors in the muscles.
extrinsic feedback
Received from outside.A coach,spectator or video replay
