• Whitings model of information processing

  The perceptual mechanism-input

  • makes sense of incoming information
  • This is done through the detection of stimuli ,compare to the LTM, recognition of stimuli (DCR)
  • selective attention occurs

  The translators mechanism -does ion making stage

  • Receives the selected information from the perceptual mechanisms and decides what action is needed
  • we use memory to select appropriate action

  The effector mechanisms-output

  • impulses are sent to the muscles to carry out actions via a motor neurone
  • enables muscles to contract and execute the motor programme
• Baddelley and Hitch working memory model-

  Sensory memory -

  • recieves all the information from the display
  • infomation is present for less than a second
  • infomation is flirted through selective attention
  • unnecessary infomation is lost

  Central executive -

  • receives info for 20/30 seconds
  • limited capacity of 7+/-2 items
  • Receives info from sensory memory and compares to LTM
  • selects a motor programme
  • initiates the motor programme

  Long term memory -

  • info can be stored for a life time
  • limitless capacity
  • stores past experience's,motor programmes and schemas
• How can we ensure memory stays in the LTM?

  The player can—

  • use mental imagery and rehearsal
  • make infomation relevant and meaningful
  • chunk and chain info together

  The coach can-

  • make practice fun
  • use effective feedback
  • highlight specific cues
• Central executive

  Visual spatial sketch pad -

  • deals with,stores and processes infomation in a visual format -used to create images

  Phonological loop-

  • deal with spoken and written material
  • rehearses and stores verbal info

  Episodic buffer-

  • links visual and audio infomation together (Visual spatial sketchpad and phonological loop )
• Schmidt‘s Schema Theory

  Recall schema (selects movements )

  • Knowledge of initial conditions -what are the important cues /stimuli from the display that will influence choice of skill
  • knowledge of response specification -what motor programme is required for the conditions

  Recognition schema-controls movement

  • sensory consequences -compare how action feels (kinaesthetic awareness)to how you know it should feel from your LTM
  • Movement outcomes -does the end result comapre to the intended outcome
