information processing Flashcards
what is information processing
taking account of the sporting environment to make decisions prior to a response
what’s the information processing model
input -> decision making -> output -> feedback
what is selective attention
filtering out the irrelevant and focusing on the relevant
what is whitings model of information processing
1- the environment 2- the display 3- receptors systems 4- perceptual mechanism 5- translatory mechanism 6- effector mechanism 7- muscles systems 8- output data 9- feedback
what are the types of receptor systems
visual- what you see
auditory- what you hear
touch- what you can feel
balance- body positioning through equilibrium
kinesthesis- extent of your muscle contractions
decision making
what is dcr
detection
comparison
recognition
what is perceptual mechanism
the process of coding and interpreting sensory information
what is the translatory mechanism
adapting and comparing coded information to memory so that decisions can be made
what is the effector mechanism
the network of nerves that sends coded impulses to the muscles from the decisions made during the perceptual process to the muscles so that those muscles can perform the action
what influences the quality of retention and retrieval
rehearsal
meaningfulness
speed of learning
over learning
what are the strategies to improve short term memory
chunking/ chaining
associating
mental rehearsal
rewards
what’s the psychology refractory period
a refractory period is a moment in time where no work can be done
what’s hicks law
choice reaction time
linear / directly proportional
what’s reaction time
the time taken to make the decision
the time from the identification of the stimulus to the onset of the movement
what are the types of reaction time
- choice reaction time (requires a choice)
* simple reaction time (single stimulus)
