information processing Flashcards
information processing
taking account of the sporting environment and then making decisions prior to execution of skill
input stage
uses senses to pick up information from environment
includes; display, senses
display
the sporting environment
eg oppositions, court, crowd, ball
receptor systems
senses that pick up information from the display
senses list
- sight
- auditory sense
- touch
- balance
- kinesthesis
sight
flight of the ball
external senses- from environment
auditory
hear call of teammate
sound of whistle
external senses- from environment
touch
grip on ball
- internal
balance
gymnast- floor routine
- internal
kinesthesis
- inner sense that gives information about body position and muscular tension
- swimmer- help them being aware of body composition during turn
- internal
decision making
- performer must make a decision based on the information collected by the senses
- who is free, most likely to get ball, oppositions
- involves selective attention and memory system
selective attention
- filtering relevant information from irrelevant information
- eg badminton player focuses on the position of the opponent, ignore crowd
developing selective attention
- top class performer - automatic
- stimulus made more intense - develop concentration
- motivation - rewards - more alert to important information
- mental practice
benefits of selective attention
- improve reaction time (tennis player picks up flight of ball can begin movements quicker)
- helps decision making - limiting amount of information
- memory
- concentration
perception
- process of coding and interpreting sensory information
- involves 3 aspects detection, comparison, recognition
DCR
- detection
- comparison
- recognition
detection
performer has picked up relevant information and identified that information as important
comparison
trying to match the information identified as important to information already in the memory of performer
recognition
used the information from the memory to identify an appropriate response.
response then put into action
translatory mechanisms
- helps you convert information so that decisions can be made
- uses past experiences so information received can be linked with past experiences and be sent to the memory system
- eg tennis return - info ab the flight of the ball and position of opponent compared to image of backhand
output
- effector mechanism and the muscular muscular output
- feedback
