memory models Flashcards
what is the simple information processing model
input -> decision making -> output -> feedback
what is an input
a stimulus from the environment that is received via the senses of the peformer
what is decision making
the process where the performer, uses a combination of recognition, perception and memory processes to select an appropriate response to the demands of the situation
what is output
where a response is given by the player
what is feedback
feedback occurs because the player, perceives the outcome of his or her response and this in turn becomes part of the input for the basis of further decision making
what are the 5 senses
- touch
- sight
- smell
- sound
- taste
where does the body send the information down
the central nervous system (CNS)
what are the 3 parts of perception
(the DCR)
- detection
- comparison
- recognition
what are the 3 parts of attention
- amount of information
- selective attention
- relevance of information
what is attention
amount of information we can cope with, since the amount of information that we can attend to is limited
what is selective attention
this is the process of sorting out relevant bits of information from the many which are received.
state 7 way’s to develop selective attention
- lots of relevant practice
- increase the intensity of the stimulus
- use verbal or kinaesthetic cues to focus on important information
- use visualization or mental rehearsal techniques without movement
- watch performers video replays to refine technique
- observe and copy the behaviour of a player who plays in the same position as the subject
what are 3 benefits to selective attention
- reduces performers potential memory overload
- helps regulate performers arousal and anxiety levels
- improves performers reaction time
what are the 3 parts of the simple memory model
- short term sensory store
- short term memory
/\ \/ - long term memory
how long for and how much information can the short term sensory store hold
around 5-9 pieces of information and it can only hold them for 20-30
what is the Baddeley and Hitch model
a basic version of working memory, which can be defined as a temporary storage system under attentional control that underpins our capacity for complex thought. this therefore replaces the short term memory in the memory system theory systems, so far dealt with
know the Baddeley and Hitching model
.
what does the central executive system do
it allocates memories to the phonological and visuospatial sketch pad
what is visuospatial sketchpad
the VSSP system receives and sorts out visual information ready for processing in the long term memory
what is the phonological loop
- an articulatory loop - which voices information, that you are rehearsing
- a primary acoustic store - which just hold onto the memory of sounds
what is the episodic buffer
it works between and the phonological loop and VSSP and brings elements of information together into patterns or stories into the long term memory. it is a temporary storage system that is able to combine information from the loop, the sketchpad, long term memory or indeed from perceptual input, into a coherent episode
what is Whittlings information processing model
what is the perceptual mechanism
the part of the brain which perceives the surroundings and gives them meaning
what is the translatory mechanism
consist of the part of the brain which makes decisions and sorts out and processes the few relevant bits of information from the many inputs from the surroundings
