PE- Infomation processing

Information processing:

1. Input 

2. Decision making 

3. Output

4. 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
