memory stores Flashcards
who came up with the multi store memory model?
Atkinsons and Shiffren’s
what type of model is the multi store memory?
an information processing model
what does the multi store model consist of
input, central processing system and an output
what is essential to the model
selective attention
what does the multi store memory model relate to
relates both to learning and performing physical activity
where is information processed to do with memory
the brain - is actively altering and organising information rather than just recording it
what are the three stages of remembering information - known as multi store memory model
sensory memory -> (attention) -> short term memory -> (encoding) <- (retrieval) -> long term memory
/
forgetting
what passes through the short term memory
all relevant information that is selected passes through the STM
what is chunking and why does it help
organising info
can help a performer deal with larger amounts of info
-> items of info need to be rehearsed before they can be stored in the LT memory
what is the definition of encoding
the conversion of information into codes - visual, auditory, semantic
what is semantic coding
converting info according to meaning - e.g coach says to use tactical play
what is storage
the retention of information over a period of time
what is retrieval
recovering info that has been stored. Success of retrieval depends on how well known the info is or how much of its there is.
what is input in terms of learning physical activity skills
input is the detection of cues or data from the environment e.g opponent in netball
input is detected by sensory organs or receptors (the senses) e.g eyes (vision), ears (auditory) and proprioceptors ( touch or kinaesthetisis)
this information moves to the sensory memory (sensory receptors)
