A

Selective attention

24
Q

Which key process takes place in the translatory mechanism?

A

Decision making

25
Q

Which key process takes place in the effector mechanism?

A

Initiation of motor programmes

26
Q

Is a recall schema before or after a movement?

A

Before

27
Q

Name the 2 processes of the recall schema

A

Initial conditions and response specification

28
Q

In Schmidt’s schema theory, explain initial conditions

A

Using knowledge of the environment

29
Q

In Schmidt’s schema theory, explain response specification

A

Making a decision based on initial conditions

30
Q

Does a recognition schema take place before or after a movement?

A

After

31
Q

Outline the 2 processes in a recognition schema

A

Sensory consequences and response outcome

32
Q

In Schmidt’s schema theory, explain sensory consequences

A

Involves knowledge of performance, where the performer receives feedback based on the success of the movement

33
Q

In Schmidt’s schema theory, explain response outcome

A

Involves knowledge of results

34
Q

Define the term reaction time

A

The time taken from the start of the stimulus to the start of the movement

35
Q

Give an example of reaction time for a 100m runner.

A

From the start of the gunshot to the start of pushing off the blocks

36
Q

Define the term movement time

A

From the start of the movement to the end of the movement

37
Q

Give an example of movement time for a 100m runner

A

From the start of pushing off the blocks to the end of the race

38
Q

Define the term response time

A

From the start of the stimulus to the end of the movement

39
Q

Give an example of response time for a 100m runner

A

From the start of the gunshot to the end of the race

40
Q

Outline the relationship between reaction time, movement time and response time

A

Reaction time + movement time = response time

41
Q

What does Hick’s Law state?

A

As the number of possible responses increases, response time becomes slower

42
Q

According to the single channel hypothesis, how many stimuli can be processed at a time?

A

One

43
Q

The time delay caused by the single channel hypothesis is known as…

A

The psychological refractory period

44
Q

The psychological refractory period causes…

A

A delayed/slower response time

45
Q

Define spatial anticipation

A

Predicting what is going to happen

46
Q

Define temporal anticipation

A

Predicting when something is going to happen

47
Q

Which memory model is represented in the picture?

A

Baddeley & Hitch Working memory model

48
Q

What is the central executive known as?

A

The Boss

49
Q

Where doe the central executive pass tasks on to?

A

The slave systems

50
Q

Why does the central executive send tasks to the slave systems?

A

To focus on other stimuli

51
Q

According to the working memory model, if a performer is autonomous, where is a task carried out?

A

In the slave systems

52
Q

According to the working memory model, if a performer is cognitive, where is a task carried out?

A

The central executive

53
Q

What does the phonological loop interpret?

Spoken instructions

54
Q

What is the articulatory loop?

A

Repeating spoken information

55
Q

What does the visuo-spatial sketch pad interpret?
