Feedback and memory

Question 1

Intrinsic feedback

Answer 1

Intrinsic feedback is from within a performer.

Question 2

Extrinsic feedback

Answer 2

Extrinsic feedback comes from external source from sight or sound

Question 3

Positive feedback

Answer 3

Positive feedback gives info about successful outcomee.g coach praising archer hitting bullseye

Question 4

Negative feedback

Answer 4

Negative feedback is information about an unsuccessful outcome e,g coach criticising netball plyer’s poor pass due to lack of power

Question 5

Knowledge of results

Answer 5

Knowledge results is info about outcome (external)

Question 6

Knowledge of performance

Answer 6

Knowledge of performance is info about how well the skill/technique was executed

Question 7

Display

Answer 7

Display is everything perceived

Question 8

What are 3 stores of memory

Answer 8

Short term sensory store
Short term memory (STM)
Long term memory (LTM)

Question 9

Encoding

Answer 9

Encoding means putting things in your memory

Question 10

Maintenance

Answer 10

Maintenance means keeping it alive (not forgetting memory)

Question 11

Retrieval

Answer 11

Retrieval is finding a memory

Question 12

Attributes of STSS

Answer 12

STSS holds al information, has unlimited capacity and sense specific.
STSS is temporary (0.5secs) because it is subconcious

Question 13

Selective attention

Answer 13

Selective attention is relevant info is passed to short term memory
E.g football player focusing on ball, whilst filtering out crowd booing him

Question 14

How does STSS transfer data to STM

Answer 14

STSS uses selective attention so only relevant info is passed to STM and it uses encoding.

Question 15

Characteristics of STM

Answer 15

STM only attends to relevant stimuli.
Limited capacity (6-9items)
Duration is 30secs
DCR process happens in STM
Can cause learning to happen (most relevant info)

Question 16

How does STM transfer info to LTM

Answer 16

STM uses encoding to transfer STM to LTM to remember movement.
LTM sends info to STM to compare to previous experiences by decoding

Question 17

Characteristics of LTM

Answer 17

LTM contains well learnt things
Used for comparison so we can decode and compare to STM
Pass data to STM
EMP (executive motor program) 
Schemas
Rehearsal to stay on LTM
Unlimited capacity

Question 18

Strengths of multi store memory model

Answer 18

Strengths are
simple to understand
Explains how an individual can deal with large amounts of info
True that repeated info is more likely to see stored in LTM

Question 19

Weaknesses of multi-store memory model

Answer 19

Weaknesses are:
not proven
Doesn’t account for individual differences
Doesn’t explain why an individual might remember 1 type of info but not another

Question 20

What characteristics of multi store memory model

Answer 20

Characteristics of multi store memory model are:
SSTS takes in al environmental cues
Selective attention occurs in SSTS
STM holds 5-9items
