Skill Acq- Memory models definitions Flashcards
(24 cards)
Define DCR process
Detection- of stimulus
Comparison- to past experiences
Recognition- of relevant stimuli based on past experiences
Define Central executive (Baddeley and Hitch)
The control centre of the working memory, directs information to the subsystems
Define Phonological loop (Baddeley and Hitch)
Deals with auditory information
Define Visuo-spatial sketch pad (Baddeley and Hitch)
Deals with visual and spatial information
Define Episodic buffer (Baddeley and Hitch)
Links the other two sub systems together
Define Temporal anticipation
Predicting when an action will occur
Define Spatial anticipation
Predicting where an action will occur
Define Hick’s law
The more choices there are the longer response time is
Define Response time
Time taken from the start of the stimulus to the end of the movement.
Response time = reaction time + movement time
Define Reaction time
Time taken from the start of the stimulus to the start of the movement
Define Movement time
Time taken from the start of movement to the end of movement
Define Simple reaction time
Where there is one stimulus and one possible response
Define Choice reaction time
Where there are multiple stimuli and multiple possible responses
Define Selective attention
Filtering information to identify relevant stimuli and ignore irrelevant stimuli
Define Psychological refractory period
A delay in response when a second stimulus arrives closely after the first, explained by single channel hypothesis
Define Perceptual mechanism (whiting’s info processing model)
Where the stimuli are interpreted, involves selective attention and DCR process
Define Translatory mechanism (whiting’s info processing model)
Where decisions are made based on the current situation and comparison to the long term memory
Define Effector mechanism (whiting’s info processing model)
Where the response is programmed and sent out via the neuromuscular system
Define Recall schema (schmidt’s schema theory)
Initiates the action, occuring before the movement
Define Initial conditions (recall schema)
recognising information from the environment
Define Response specifications (recall schema)
Performer uses information from initial conditions to choose a relevant motor programme
Define Recognition schema (schmidt’s schema theory)
occurs after the movement
Define Sensory consequences (recognition schema)
information about how the movement felt, involves knowledge of performance, receiving feedback via kinesthetic awareness
Define Response outcomes (recognition schema)
Information about the outcome of performance, involves knowledge of results
