Information processing Flashcards
Define effector
Impulses sent from brain to working muscles
Define memory
The storage, recognition and transfer of information between memory stores
Define feedback
Information after the response, to aid movement correction
Define display
The sporting environment contains information to be collected by the senses
Define muscles
Muscular contractions during movement
Define response
Action to the display
Define senses
Five senses used to pick up information from the display - hearing, vision, touch, equilibrium and kinesthesis
Define DCR
Detection, Comparison, Recognition
Define selective attention. Why is it important?
The filtering of relevant stimulus from irrelevant noise.
Important as it avoids information overload and allows the performer to focus on the important cues
What do translatory mechanisms do?
Compare and adapt
Define environment
Surroundings from which information is collected
Define receptor systems
Sense organs receive information from display
Define central executive
Perceives surroundings
What does the episodic buffer do?
Coordinate information into sequences to link to the LTM
What sequence does information processing follow?
- Environment
- Display
- Senses
- Selective attention
- DCR
- Translatory mechanisms
- Memory
- Effector
- Muscles
- Response
