The memory system Flashcards
What does the memory system do
Stores and retrieves information, makes comparisons with previous movement experiences and selects which motor programme to retrieve to produce desired movement
What does the barley and hitch working memory model include
central executive
display-phonological loop-visuospatial sketchpad—episodic buffer
Long term memory
What does the central executive do
maintains overall control, links with LTM and switches attention if required but has limited capacity, identified which information should go into which of the 3subsystems to perform different functions
what does the phonological loop do
Deals with auditory information e.g processes the call from your teammate, it’s a temporary storage system which creates a memory trace which is send to the LTM to trigger a motor programme.(memory trace will fade away if not rehearsed)
What is the visuospatial sketchpad
Holds visual and spatial information temporarily e.g. images of set plays and where u would be during the action and also stores kinaesthetic information about how the movement feels
What does the episodic buffer do?
Stores 3-4 chunks or ‘episodes’, allows different parts of the memory system to talk to each-other and !produces sequences of information! to sent to the LTM which initiates the motor programme. Also gather’s perceptual information such as the flight speed of the ball or the sound ‘man on’ from the coach or how the limbs and muscles feel as you move to receive the pass
what does ‘Choose to Make Remembering Easy Practicing Lots Creates Memories’ actually mean
chaining, meaningful, reinforcement/rewards, enjoyable/fun experience, Practice/rehearsal,Linking with past experiences, chunking, mental rehearsal/imagery
What is chaining and chunking
chaining is when the elements are presented together to make it easy to remember in an organised manager, eg. elements are practiced together full tramp routine. chunking is when small groups of information and grouped together to expand the capacity of the short term memory. e.g. 3-4 movements learnt together in a trampolining routine
Explain the overall process of working memory model
working memory receives relevant information that’s been filtered via selective attention, can only store 5-9 items for 30s, if a skill is rehersed it’s transferred to LTM as a motor programme, WMM produced memory trace of current skill which is compared to previous noor stored in LTM, LTM is unlimited time and capacity, it send motor programmes to working memory which initiates the motor programme
What is the difference between STSS(short-term sensory memory story) and STM(short-term memory)
STSS stores lots of info filters through selective attention before moving towards STM and holds info for 0.5-1second and short term memory holds 5-9 for 20-30s and requests motor programmes from LTM(which sends requested info to STM) and runs our motor programmes
