Information processing Flashcards
What are the Internal senses
Touch
balance
Kinesthesis
Known as proprioceptors
Kinesthesis
Inner sense that gives info abo0ut body position and muscle tension
External senses
Sight
hearing
Where does the input come from
The display
Selective attention
A process that helps a performer separate relevant info from irrelevant info
Proprioceptors
Receptors that provide internal info from the body
How can selective attention be improved
Increase intensity of stimulus - shout louder, ball brighter
Increase time to react
Increase fitness levels
Practise with distractions
Optimal arousal
Mental rehearsal
Perceptual Mechanism
beginning of process
Detection
Comparison
Recongition
What is the detection stage
Performer picks up relevant info and identifies key info using selective attention
Belongs in input stage of process
Perception
The process of coding and interpreting sensory info
Comparison stage
Matching the important info to info in the memory
Recognition stage
Performer has used info from memory to identify an appropriate response
What is the Translatory Mechanism
Convert info into decisions
Info from senses adapted into an image, sent to memory for comparison
Similar actions from memory can be used - motor programmes
Adapts info, compares with past experience, appropriate motor programme used
Effector Mechanism
Network of nerves responsible for delivering decisions made to the muscles
Muscles receive info as coded impulses, when received muscles can contact and perform movement
Who came up with the info processing model
