Memory, reaction time, anticipation

Question 1

3 aspects of memory

Answer 1

Short-term sensory store (STSS)
Short-term memory (STM)
Long-term memory (LTM)

Question 2

Short-term sensory store (STSS)

Answer 2

Information from the senses passes through
Information is only kept for ONE second + if it isn’t considered important = it’s forgotten

Question 3

Short-term memory (STM)

Answer 3

Working memory
Lasts between 20-30 seconds before information is lost
Capacity = 5-9
Capacity can be increased by chunking = grouping the information
Info can be passed into long-term memory if practised

Question 4

Long-term memory (LTM)

Answer 4

past experiences
Capacity = limitless
Not forgotten BUT difficult to retrieve at times

Question 5

Reaction time

Answer 5

Time taken to respond to a stimulus + the first movement initiated in response to the stimulus

Question 6

Movement time

Answer 6

Time between starting + finishing a movement

Question 7

Response time

Answer 7

Time between the first presentation of the stimulus to the completion of the movement

Question 8

Response time equation

Answer 8

Response time = reaction time + movement time

Question 9

Hick’s law

Answer 9

The more choices a person has, the more information that needs processing
The longer it takes to process the information, the slower the reaction time

Question 10

Psychological refractory period (PRP)

Answer 10

Time taken to respond the a second stimulus
Explains why a performer is unable o quickly respond to a dummy/fake –>
e.g. Cruyff turn
