Atkinson and Shriffen stages of memory
STSS
STM
LTM
draw the A+S memory model
STSS
attention
STM
rehearsal
LTM
retrieval
STM
STSS capacity and duration
unlimited
<1 second
what is selective attention
when relative information is filtered through to the STM or it is forgotten
STM capacity and duration
5-9
<1 minute
LTM capacity and duration
unlimited
unlimited
2 advantages of A+S memory model
simplified the memory process
explains why those with brain injuries have trouble remembering stuff
2 disadvantages of the A+S memory model
maybe its too simplified
doesn’t prove the distinction between STM and LTM
draw the Craik and Lockhart memory model
shallow - structural and phonetic
deep - semantic
what is the structural level, phonetic level and semantic level of processing
structural - what the info looks like
phonetic - what the info sounds like
semantic - what the info actually means
2 advantages of the C+L memory model
explains the more we understand about something the more likely we are to remember it
explains the longer we think about info the more we remember it
2 disadvantages of the C+L memory model
the longer we think about something doesn’t mean the better we will recall it
it is difficult to know what deep processing involves
define the term personality
it is the psychological makeup of a performer
name 3 type a characteristics
highly motivated
high drive to succeed
works fast
name 3 type b characteristics
non competitive
unambitious
works slowly
what is a stable personality trait
someone who does not swing from one emotion to another quickly
what is an unstable personality type
someone who swings from one emotion to another quickly
name 2 characteristics of an extrovert
seeks Social situations
lacks concentration
name 2 characteristics of an introvert
someone who does not seek social situations
good at concentrating
what is the social learning theory
when our characteristics are learnt throughout and not born with
what is the interactionist approach
takes both personality and SLT into account
gives a more realistic explanation of personality
what is meant by attitude
it is the recomposition to act in a specific way towards someone or something
3 ways positive attitudes are formed by
belief in the sport
enjoyable experiences in sport
being good at sport
being excited by the challenge
3 ways that negative attitudes are formed by
not believing in the sport
not having good experiences in the sport
not good at the sport
2 methods of changing attitudes
cognitive dissonance
persuasive communication
what is cognitive dissonance
when the coach explains how the certain drill will benefit the person as a player
factors affecting persuasive communication
the persuader has got to be someone whom the person recpect
the message has got to be clear and has to be good quality
define motivation
it is the physiological drive to succeed
2 types of motivation
internal/external
define internal motivation
drive from within - wanting to achieve for its own sake
define external motivation
come from outside - trophy or rewards
2 types of arousal
cognitive - physiological state of the body
semantic - psychological state of the body
3 theories of arousal
drive
inverted U
catastrophe
3 key points for the drive theory of arousal
the quality of the performance all depends on how well the skill has been leant
motor programmes that have already been leant are the dominant response
increase in arousal = increase in performance
how can under arousal affect performance
difficult to focus
concentration is lost
info overload may prevent decision making
how does being at optimum arousal affect performance
attentional field is ideal
performer can concentrate fully
have accurate decision making
