Decision making Flashcards
What is the perceptual mechanisms stage?
The process of interpreting info from senses. Using DCR
What does DCR stand for?
Detection, comparison, recognition
What is detection in the DCR model
Using selective attention
What is comparison in the DCR model
Comparing info in our display to past experiences in LTM
What is recognition in the DCR model
Understanding what response is required
Give 2 factors that may influence selective attention
- Stage of learning
- Type of skill
Give 3 benefits of selective attention
- Aids concentration
- Improves reaction time
- Reduces chance of information overload
Give 2 factors that impact perception
- Too much information
- Unclear/disguised by opposition
What is the short term memory store?
Receives information from the display, selective attention is used - relevant info enters STM
What is the long term memory?
Store of past experiences/motor programmes, like a library
Give 4 characteristics of translatory mechanisms
- Make a mental image
- Compare to past-experience
- Pick recognised action
- Select appropriate motor programme
Why is the translatory mechanism more efficient in experienced performers?
As they already have information in the memory system to aid the process
