information processing
the methods by which data from the environment are collected and utilised
4 stages
input
decision making
output
whiting's model
- input data from display (sporting environment available from the environment
- receptor system - five senses used to collect info from the display
- perceptual mechanism - detects information from display and using selective attention filters relative parts (selective attention)
- translatory mechanism - compare relative information to an image stored in memory
- effector mechanism - sends coded impulse to the muscles
- output data - the response begins
- feedback data - various forms of feedback
feedback
anticipation
prejudging a stimulus
temporal anticipation - when is it going to happen
spatial anticipation - where and what is going to happen
correct anticipation = an decreased reaction time
schemas
a general motor programme that is adapted to fit different situations
recall schema stores information about you and initiates the movement
- initial conditions - identifying if you've been in the situation before
- response specifications - assesses the available opinions to the performer
recognition schema - evaluates the schema/movement
- sensory consequences - using our senses to evaluate
- response outcome - feedback about the result
