mr tweedale-chapter 9.1

Question 1

information processing

Answer 1

data from environment is collected and utilised
e.g netball checking in right psotion before being passed to

Question 2

what are the 3 stages of the information processing

Answer 2

input
decision making
perception
output

Question 3

input stage

Answer 3

information is picked up by the senses from the environment

Question 4

what is the display

Answer 4

the sporting environment

Question 5

what are the senses

Answer 5

sight
auditory
touch
balance
kinesthesis
Sat BK

Question 6

what are the scenses collectively known as

Answer 6

receptor systems

Question 7

example of when vision used in sport

Answer 7

see flight of ball
postion of the opponent

Question 8

example of when auditory used in sport

Answer 8

player may hear team mate being called
sound of the referees horn

Question 9

are both hearing and sight internal senses or external senses

Answer 9

external senses as info is collected from the environment

Question 10

example of touch used in sport

Answer 10

grip of the ball
feel of spingboard for siver

Question 11

example of balance in sport

Answer 11

gymnast balancing during floor routine or competing on a beam

Question 12

example of kinesthesis in sport

Answer 12

inner sense that given info on the body position of the performer
sense from within the performer

Question 13

are touch balance and kinesthesis internal or external senses

Answer 13

internal senses as from within rather then the environment

Question 14

decision making

Answer 14

second stage of information processing
performer makes decision based on information collected from the senses
performer gets lots of information but needs to pick out the most important

Question 15

what is selective attention

Answer 15

filtering relevant information from irrelevant information
identifies information important to performer and disregards less important information
e.g. focusing on the flight of the ball rather then the crowd

Question 16

developing selective attention

Answer 16

automatic for autonomous, top class performers
sports performer may enhance process of selective attention by learning to focus attention on important stimulus
e.g making stimulus more loud and intense during training so block out the irrelevant info e,g crowds

Question 17

perception

Answer 17

process of coding and interpretating the info from display supplied from senses

Question 18

what are the three elements of perception

Answer 18

detection, comparison and recognition
DCR process

Question 19

where does detection belong

Answer 19

belongs in input stage of information processing

Question 20

what is the comparison level about

Answer 20

where the performer tries to match info identified with info already found

Question 21

recognition

Answer 21

means performer has used info from the memory to identify appropriate response

Question 22

translatory mechanisms

Answer 22

helps to convert info so decisions can be made

Question 23

working memory system

Answer 23

central executive
phonological loop
visual sketchpad
episodif buffer
by baddley and hitch

Question 24

central executive

Answer 24

has all control over information entering and leaving the working memory
quickly identifies which information should be sent to which sub system

Question 25

phonological loop

Answer 25

holds info such as the shout from the coach, call from a team mate
sound of ball hitting a racket
deals with auditory information presnted from senses
phonologivcal store
articulatory process
helps produce memory trace mental image of skill)
sent to long term memory
then triggers motor programme

Question 26

visuospatial sketchpad

Answer 26

concerns visual and spatial(where) information
helps to process the feel for the movement
further divided into inner scribe and visual cache
inner scribe-deals with spatial movement
visual cache-holds info about form and colour

Question 27

episodic buffer

Answer 27

repsonsible for coordinating work of phonological loop and visiospatial sketchpad into sequences
sequences produce patterns of skilled actions that are put in order and sent to LTM

Question 28

what is a memory trace

Answer 28

mental snapshot of skill being used

Question 29

response time

Answer 29

time taken from onset of stimulus to onset of response
fraction of a second it takes us to process selected stimuli

Question 30

movemtn time

Answer 30

time it takes tp complete task after infromation processing has taken place
e.g time it takes from pushing off blocks to finsih line

Question 31

response time

Answer 31

time taken from onset of a stimulus to the completion of a task

Question 32

simple reaction time

Answer 32

where there is one specific repsonse to one stimulus
e.g runnign from sound of a gun
should be fast as only have one thing to think about before they react

Question 33

choice reaction time

Answer 33

choosung fromm numerous stimuli
reaction time should be slower

Question 34

factors that influence response time:hicks law

Answer 34

reaction time increases as the number of choices increases
e.g varying shots in tennis to felay opponents time to react

Question 35

hicks law

Answer 35

states the more choices we have, the slower the response
