Information processing:
Input
Decision making
Output
Feedback
Short-term sensory store - STSS
Collects all info entering the body from a sensory system
Huge capacity
Only retained for one second
Info prioritised and irrelevant stimuli discarded
Short-term memory - STM
Compares filtered info to stored info from past experience
Limited capacity 5-9 pieces of info
Retained for approximately 30 seconds
If info is practised and learned transferred to LTM
Coaches should not overload performers with information
Long term memory
Hold unlimited information
Stored as a motor program
Lasts a lifetime
Receives and turns information to working memory
Compares memory trace
To-way link between working memory and long-term memory (LTM)
Effector
impulses sent from the brain to working muscles
Memory-
the storage, recognition and transfer of information between memory stores
Feedback
information after the response, to aid movement correction
Display-
he sporting environment contains information to be collected by the senses
Muscles-
- Muscular contractions during movement
Response
Action
Senses-
Five senses used to pick up information from the display- hearing vision touch equilibrium and kinestheses
DCR-
Detection, Comparison, Recognition
Selective attention-
information is collected from the senses and filtered by selective attention into relevant and irrelevant parts.
How Selective attention helps
Avoids overload and allows the performer to concentrate on the important cues
Speeds up decision-making
Between long and short-term memory
Translatory mechanisms
Compare, Adapt
Environment-
surroundings which from info is collected
