Q

Describe the (short-term) sensory store.

A

All information in the form of stimuli from our display enters the brain

Short Term Sensory Store has large capacity

Info held for short time (0.25-1 sec) before it is filtered

Q

Describe the short-term memory.

A

The ‘workplace’

Limited information can be stored here (5-9 items)

Held for approx 30 secs

Rehearsal must take place to hold information for longer

Information held through process of chunking

Q

Describe the long-term memory.

A

Information held for long time

Stored information has been encoded

Helped if information has association or meaning.

Q

What are the advantages of the Multi-Store Memory Model?

A

Simplifies to understand

Explains how an individual can deal with large amounts of info.

Gives a realistic answer to how an individual deals with / filters lots of information that they take in (from their surroundings) i.e. with sensory memory filtering information before it enters the STM

Explains how those with brain damage can suffer from dysfunctional memory

Explains how people with memory conditions can remember things from long ago but not what just happened

LTM explains how an individual can perform a skill that they haven’t done for a long time, (e.g. riding a bike)

It is true that info that is repeated /chunked is more likely to be stored in LTM

Q

What are the disadvantages to the Multi-Store Memory Model?

A

Model is too simple or hasn’t been proven

Does not explain why an individual might remember one type of information but not another, e.g. a coach’s explanation but not a diagram

Evidence suggests STM is not a unitary store/ has separate parts

Does not prove the distinction between STM and LTM or does not effectively explain the interaction between STM and LTM

Does not quantify how much repetition results in LTM storage or not everything that is repeated is stored in the LTM or some people will remember things they look at once

Doesn’t account for individual differences in capacity / duration
Doesn’t account for interest/ motivation/ concentration/ understanding and it’s effect on memory

Craik and Lockhart’s levels of processing model is better at explaining how depth of processing affects memory

Q

What are the 3 levels in the Levels of Processing Model?

A

Structural level
Involves paying attention to what the word looks like (shallow level of processing)

Phonetic level
Processing sounds of words

Semantic level
Actual meaning of words (deepest level)

Q

What are the advantages of the Levels of Processing Model?

A

Explains well how we retain things we understand or have meaning

Explains that the longer and deeper we consider info the more we retain it

Q

What are the disadvantages of the Levels of Processing Model?

A

Longer time taken to process info does NOT always lead to better recall

Difficulty defining what ‘deep’ processing actually involves

Doesn’t account for individual differences

Q

Why would you attribute failure to external causes?

A

Sustains confidence, self-esteem
Reassures success is possible in the future
Maintains motivation
Takes away the responsibility for failure

Q

Why would you attribute success to internal causes?

A

Elevates confidence & pride
Endorses expectations of achievement
Used to reinforce success

22
Q

Name the type of behaviour which describes that of low achievers?

A

Avoidance behaviour

23
Q

Name the type of behaviour which describes that of high achievers?

A

Approach behaviour

24
Q

What is learned helplessness?

A

The belief that failure is inevitable and the individual has no control over the factors that cause failure

25
Q

What is it called when you try to use attribution theory to change the reasons for failure from negative into a positive?

A

Attribution retraining

26
Q

Define confidence in sport.

A

The belief/general disposition an individual has about their ability to be successful in sport

27
Q

What is the impact of high sports confidence?

A

High sports confidence makes you more likely to achieve positive outcomes in sport/be skillful/be successful/take risk /be competitive/achieve peak flow.

High sports confidence will make you more likely to take part/ compete/not feel inhibited/enjoy team activities/volunteer for roles/ show approach behaviours/try new activities.

High self confidence in a leader is likely to help performers they lead to participate or perform well.

If talented people with low confidence were encouraged they might experience success and enjoy participating more.

BUT, over confidence or complacency could cause underperformance

28
Q

What is the impact of low sports confidence?

A

Low sport confidence has a negative effect on the outcome or causes poor performance/underachievement.

Low sports confidence makes you less likely to participate in sport /compete in sport/try hard/attempt sports activities/volunteer for tasks/show avoidance behaviours.

Low sports confidence could cause disruptive behaviour hindering others.

Low sports confidence could cause people to not try sports / activities that they might actually be very good at / never realised their talent.

If people with low sports confidence were pushed into it (through school/parents) they would not be very motivated and therefore are likely to experience negative outcomes

29
Q

What is self-efficacy?

A

The self confidence we feel in specific situations

30
Q

According to Bandura’s model, what are the four factors affecting self-efficacy?

A

Vicarious Experiences
Performance Accomplishments
Verbal Persuasion
Emotional Control

31
Q

What are vicarious experiences?

A

This refers to what we have observed before or are observing (better if same level / ability)

If we watch others perform and be successful, then we are more likely to experience high self efficacy.

32
Q

What is leadership?

A

The behavioural process influencing individuals and groups towards set goals

Involves personal relationships

Effects motivation of the group members

33
Q

What is a prescribed leader?

A

Selected from outside of the group or externally appointed.

34
Q

What is an emergent leader?

35
Q

Describe an autocratic leader.

A

Leader makes most decisions.

Focus on task completion, the performance or winning.

36
Q

Describe a democratic leader.

A

When a leader is concerned with interpersonal relations within the group.

Person oriented.

37
Q

Describe a laissez-faire leader

A

Leader has no direct influence on the group.

When the leader takes a back seat and allows the group to lead.

38
Q

What is the trait perspective on leadership?

A

Leaders have a genetic disposition or innate characteristics that show leadership qualities

“Great leaders are born not made”

39
Q

What is the social learning perspective on leadership?

A

Leaders learn their behaviour from others.

40
Q

What is the interactionist learning perspective on leadership?

A

States that an individual may have certain traits (e.g. - aggression) but these are not evident unless the situation demands it.

41

Identify the leader behaviour categories of Chelladurai’s Multi-Dimensional Model of leadership?

A

Q

What two elements should be considered as the consequences in Chelladurai’s Multi-Dimensional Model of leadership?

A

Performance and Group satisfaction.

44
Q

According to Chelladurai, what needs to happen in order for successful leadership to take place?

A

All three aspects of leader behaviour need to ‘agree’ or achieve ‘congruence’.

45
