• What is the input stage in information processing?


  Information picked up by the senses.
• What does the term "display" refer to in the context of information processing?


  It refers to the sporting environment.
• What are the key components a player might need to consider in a sporting arena?

  • The ball
  • The officials
  • The context of the game
  • The referee
  • The spectators
  • The score
  • The opposition
• What are receptor systems?


  The senses that pick up information from the display.
• What senses are included in the receptor systems used in sports?

  Sight, auditory sense, touch, balance, and kinesthesis.
• How does vision assist a performer in sports?


  It allows the performer to pick up the flight of the ball or the position of an opponent.
• Why is rapid information processing important for a performer?


  It allows the performer a fraction of a second more to make their decision.
• What is the auditory sense in sports?


  It refers to hearing sounds like a teammate's call or a referee's whistle.
• How might a cricketer use their auditory sense?


  By hearing the sound of the ball catching the edge of the bat.
• What is the decision-making stage in information processing?


  • The second stage of information processing.
  • Involves using attention to make decisions.
  • Influenced by relevant and irrelevant factors.
• What is selective attention?


  It is the process of filtering relevant information from irrelevant information.
• How does selective attention benefit a badminton player?


  It helps them focus on the position of the opponent and the flight of the shuttlecock.
• What are stimuli in the context of information processing?


  Important and relevant items of information from the display.
• What are the stages of perception in information processing?


  1. Detection: Identifying relevant information.
  2. Comparison: Matching information with memory.
  3. Recognition: Identifying an appropriate response.
• What does the translatory mechanism do?


  It converts information into a language that can be processed and stored in memory.
• How does the translatory mechanism aid experienced performers?


  It uses past experiences to link information storage with memory.
• What is the effector mechanism?


  It is the network of nerves responsible for delivering decisions to the muscles.
• What is feedback in the context of information processing?


  Information used during or after the response to aid movement correction.
• What is the cyclical nature of the information processing model?


  • The process involves input, decision-making, output, and feedback.
  • Each stage influences the next.
  • It allows for continuous improvement in performance.
