KINE 4323/MOD 3- Info Processing+Motor Control

• sensory stimuli in environment

  • Ex) Ball served to you

  • assess where you are

  • when to swing, etc.

information processing motor control

examine processes of thinking, language, memory and learning

cognitive approach to psychology

• study of behavior

• whats the relationship between the 2?

• stimulus (input) and Motor response (output)

behaviorism

the strengthening of the bond between the stimulus and the response

learning

how information is quantified, stored, and communicated

information theory

information processing in the human brain may be similar to the steps and operations of a computer program

computer analogy

• this approach assumes that information in the environment must be

  • ________into a storage system (memory)

  • _________ (Interpreted) to determine appropriate motor response

stored
processed

in information processing in motor control the cortex is similar to the ________ and the cerebellum is similar to the ________

processor
comparator

the cognitive processes that interpret sensory information, make decisions about how to respond, and plan the movement response

information processing

• interpretation of the sensory information by the brain

  • how sensory information is consciously experienced

perception

detection of sensory information by a receptor

sensation

• sensory stimuli typically contain less information than our perceptual response

• we generate more information as we interpret a stimulus than there is in the actual sensation of the stimulus.

poverty of the stimulus

a quantity that reduces uncertainty

information

whats this?

information processing model

the input (stimulus) of the information processing model is…

environmental information

the processing of the information processing model is…

brain

the output (motor response) of the information processing model is…

observable behavior
