Information Processing Flashcards
What does information processing mean
The process a performer goes through when they make or act on decisions
What are the 4 stages of information processing
Input
Decision making
Output
Feed back
What happens in input
And what part of the body is used
The senses pick up the data received from the display
By either sight sound touch intuition
In input > What is selective attention
And why use it
Selective attention is having to choose what to focus on
They use this because the performer will receive lots of information from their senses
What happens in decision making
The date selected is analysed and an appropriate response is selected
How is the appropriate response selected in decision making
The performer will access memeoris of similar experiences and choose the appropriate response
What is short term memory and how is it used in decision making
The information needed is stored in the performers short term memory to start with
Short term memory can store about 7 pieces of information for up to 60 seconds
What’s long term memory and how is it used and who uses it more
If the information used in decision making is rehearsed it can be stored in the performers long term memory
It has unlimited capacity and experienced performers will have more relevant information stored in it than beginners
What is output
When the decision is acted on
Info is sent from performers brain to the working muscles to carry out the required response
What is feedback
Data is received in response to the output and this can become the input for future decisions
What 2 ways can performers receive feedback
Intrinsically
Extrinsically
What’s intrinsic feedback
The feedback revived from the performer themselves through their thoughts or emotions
In intrinsic feedback what is kinaesthetic feedback
It’s feedback received by receptors in the muscles this could be physical sensations generated by movements felt by performer
What is extrinsic feedback
It’s feedback received from outside of performer
It can come from many sources including the coach, spectators
