(16 cards)
What does DCR stand for?(three elements of perception)
detection comparison recognition
What is perception?
the process of coding and interpreting the information from the display which has been supplied by the senses.
What are ways to develop and improve selective attention?
- intensifying the stimulus in training
- mimic a game like situation
- motivation
- positivity and reward
- alertness ( train with distractions )
- mental practice
What is selective attention?
filtering relevant information from irrelevant information
What is stimuli?
The important and relevant items of information from the display such as the flight of the ball
what is information processing
the methods by which data from the environment are collected and utilised
What happens during the input stage?
the performer uses the senses to pick up information from the environment.
What are receptor systems
the senses that pick up information from the display
what are the five senses / receptor systems?
sight/vision
auditory sense/hearing
touch
kinesthesis
balance
What are the external and internal senses?
external = sight, hearing
internal = touch, balance, kinesthesis
what is kinesthesis
the inner sense that gives information about body position and muscular tension
what does the translatory mechanism do?
adapts and compares coded information to memory so that decisions can be made
the effector mechanism is?
the network of nerves that sends coded impulses to the correct muscle
what are the three central mechanisms in whitings model (in order)?
perceptual, translatory, effector
what does the perceptual mechanism do?0
the part of the brain which perceives the surroundings and gives them meaning
