information processing Flashcards
what is information processing
where data from environment (display) is collected and utilised
order of information processing
input-decision making-ouput
input stage
performer picks up info from environment using the senses
what is another name for sporting environment
display
what are the senses collectively known as
receptor systems
what are all the senses
sight
hearing
touch
balance
kinesthesis
when can sight be used in input stage (a02)
e.g picking up info shuch as flight of ball or position of opponent
when can hearing be used in input stage in game situation
call from teammate
sound of a whistle
what types of senses are both hearing and sight
external senses as from environment
what senses of both balance, kinathesis and touch
intenal senses as more from within
touch used in sporting situation
grip of the ball
balance in sporting situation
gymnast who needs balance on beam
example of kinathesis in sporting situation
inner sense tbat gives info about body position
swimmer may use for body positioning of a tumble turn
decision making stage
perfomer mjst make decision based on all info picked up from senses
process of selective attention and memory system are really important in this stage
what is selective attention
filtering relevant info (position of the opponent, flight of the ball) from irrelevant info (crowd)
devloping selective attention
top class perfomers-automatic
begiiners-higher chance of picking wrong info
making stimuls bright, more intense, loud
help develop concentration
training with distracitons to learn to ignore the irrelevant info in a relaisitc enviroment
benefits of selective attention
improve reaction time
perception
process of coding and interpreting sensory info
involves 3 stages DCR process
detection, comparison, recognition
what is detection
perfomrer has picked the relevant info and identified them as important using senses and selective attention
comparison stage
trying to match info identified as important to info already in memory of the performer
recognition
used info from memory to identify an appropriate response
response can then be put into action
translatory mechanisms
adapting and comparing coded info to memory so that decisions can be made
using past experiences
effector mechanisms
deliver decisions made during perceptual process, to muscles so muscles can perform the action
feedback
study tip:mention types of feedback e.g intrinsic, extrinsic
