Memory Models Flashcards
WHat are the two memory models?
- (multi store memory model) - Atkinson and shiffrin
- (levels of processing model) - Craik and Lockharts
WHy is memory important in sport?
allows you to remember how to perform differant skills, tactics and stratergies
What does the multistore memory model suggest?
- 3 stages of remembering info
- each stage has a certain amount of info it can hold and for a certain amount of time
what are the three stages in multi store model?
- short term sensory store (STSS)
- short term memory (STM)
- long term memory (LTM)
How long can info be held in each stage of multi-store memory?
- STSS (up to 1 sec)
- STM (up to 30 sec)
- LTM (permanently)
What is the capacity of each stage in the multi memory model?
- STSS (limitless)
- STM (7+ / -2 items)
- LTM (limitless)
diagram of multi store memory model?
Explain short term sensory store?
- information in the form of stimuli / cues are taken in from environment using senses
- info passes into short term sensory store
- help up to 1 sec, limitless
- SELECTIVE ATTENTION takes place, most relevant info is remembered and all irrelevant info forgotten
- ## RELEVENT info is passed to short term memory
Why is selective attention important in sport?
need to quickly be able to concentrate on important information and block out distractions
What is selective attention?
where relevent stimuli are focused on irrelevent stimuli are fogotten
Explain short term memory?
- known as workspace and is where info from the STSS and LTM is bought together and a decision is made on what to do
- based on situation, STM retrieves info from LTM about how to respond
- info held for about 30 seconds, remeber 5-9 bits of info
- continually rehearsing/ practising info helps it move from STM to LTM
- chuncking can also be used
What is chunking?
- rather then trying to remember each separate move made by each player, remember the whole set play
when does retrieval happen?
short term memory retrieves info from long term memory when presented with a situation
What would be retrieved when, in tennis your opponent tries to lob you but it has fallen short?
smash shot is retrieved and performed
Explain long term memory?
- where motor programs are stored ( how to ride a bike, swim)
- well learned/ repeatedly practised skills stored her permanently
- it is limitless
- info retrieved when needed
- info received from STM, performer uses information from LTM and links with current movement from STM
