skill and acquisition- simple information processing model

Question 1

what are the 4 stages of the model

Answer 1

input
decision making
output
feedback

Question 2

explain input
what are the 3 types of data received?
what happens when they receive all this data

Answer 2

data received from the environment

you receive visual data, auditory data and sensory data

the performer receives lots of data at once so they use selective attention and prioritise the main information

Question 3

explain decision making

what types of memory are used?

Answer 3

this is when the performer has to make a decision on the movement/skill to perform using memory

they use their STM of the game and opponents and the LTM of their learned skills and tactics

Question 4

explain output

Answer 4

muscles react to messages from the brain and carry out the decision

Question 5

explain feedback

Answer 5

after skill is performed you receive feedback, feedback is either extrinsic or intrinsic

Question 6

what’s limited channel capacity

Answer 6

the theory that our brain can process a certain amount of information at once, too much info causes an overload and performance suffers

Question 7

what’s the single channel hypothesis

Answer 7

the theory that when receiving many stimuli the brain can only deal with 1 at a time leading to a single response

Question 8

what’s multi channel hypothesis

Answer 8

our brain can process different types of information in different channels
