Lecture 25 Flashcards
Engaging learners : Attention and Emotion
attention is critical for effective what
effective decision making, motor performance and learning
when engaging learners, attentional capacity is what
attentional capacity is not limitless
attention is selected either …. or ….
either intentionally or incidentally
the focus of attention is ….. or ….. and ….. or ….
the focus of attention is wide or narrow and internal or external
in single channel filter theories of attentional capacity tasks are accomplished in what order
tasks are accomplished in serial order
in single channel filter theories of attentional capacity, the system can process how many tasks at a time and what is meant by this
the system can process only one task at a time
- provided with 3 tasks, but one is filtered through the system
what is selective attention and what is this due to
we filter out less relevant information to prioritise the most relevant
this is due to limited attentional capacity
what are the multiple resource theories in selective attention
several attention mechanisms, each with limited capacity
in the multiple resource theories if a task requires a common mechanism they will be ……
if a task requires a common mechanism they will be difficult to perform simultaneously
what are the three characteristics of expert gaze behaviour
- efficient visual speech
- extended visual span
- selective attention
what is efficient visual search in expert gaze behaviour
attention is guided to target item immediately, making the rest of the scene irrelevant
what is extended visual span in expert gaze behaviour
pre attentive processing of the scene before selective attention is directed to specific locations
what is selective attention in expert gaze behaviour
attention is guided by the information stored in long term memory (repeated exposure because of experience
what are the four attentional styles that emerge in the focus of attention
- narrow internal
- broad internal
- narrow external
- broad external
there is less benefit of external focus in what types of tasks
simple tasks
what is inattentional bias
due to selective attention, it is easy to miss information in perceptual tasks with cognitive demands
what is an emotion (what is arises from and is often accompanied by)
a mental state that arises spontaneously rather through conscious effort
and is often accompanied by physiological changes
what is the inconvenient truth of emotions and how they have traditionally be viewed as
traditionally, emotions have generally been viewed as irrational, negative and detrimental constraints on behaviour
in movement science research methods what is the mechanistic method based on
humans are compared to machines
- individual differences downplayed
in movement science research methods what is the reductionist method based on
naturally integrated processes (perception and action) separated
- emotions are too complex to account for or control
what type of external focus is best
external focus is better should it be narrow
example of narrow internal focus with a sprinter taking off
“extend your hips as explosively as you can”
example of narrow external focus with a sprinter taking off
“drive the ground back as explosively as you can”
example of broad internal focus with a sprinter taking off
“drive your leg back as explosively as you can”
example of broad external focus with a sprinter taking off
“drive towards the finish as explosively as you can”
