Information Processing

The input is the information that you take in from your surroundings using your senses
...
The environment that provides information for
the senses
...
This is called the stimulus indication stage
...
We take in two
types of environmental information Internal and External
...
It consists of three different sub categories touch, equilibrium and
kinaesthesis
...

o Equilibrium is balance and tipping turning and inverting
...
This is
experienced in a high level performer when they can feel whether the
movement performed was done correctly or not
...
It also includes hearing
...
During perception an
indication of a stimulus occurs this involves three elements:




Detection: The process of registering the sense from the sense organ
...

Recognition: The process of finding corresponding stimuli in the memory
...
It’s the process of picking out and focusing
on specific parts of the display that are relevant to our performance
...
This is when you suffer from trying to perceive
too much
...
There are three stores of memory:
 Short-term sensory stores (STSS): This is the information gained from the senses and
only lasts for about half a second
...

 Short-term memory (STM): Also called working memory relates to what we are
thinking about at any given time
...
Information is only kept for a maximum of 60 seconds
unless it is rehearsed
...

 Long-term memory (LTM): All information that enters is either lost or entered in the
LTM unit
...
It stores past
experiences and is used to compare them to more recent experiences
...
It is ‘movement time + reaction time =
response time’
...
Choice
is the time taken between the stimulus and the action which requires a choice whereas
simple is the time taken to start a single response to a single stimulus
