This is the sensory stage where the stimulus is detected, along with
speed, size, colour, direction of movement from the display of stimulus
The Display
The physical
environment in
which the learner is
performing. The
display from the
player would be
crowd, team-mates,
opposition etc.
Stimuli and Cues
These are the
specific aspects
of the display
that are being
registered by
the learner's
sense organs
Sense Organs, Sensory
Systems and Receptors
These are the receptors which
take in the sensory information
Exteroceptors
Receive extrinsic information from
outside the body (from display)
Visual, Auditory,
Touch, Smell, Taste
Proprioceptors
Nerve receptors within the body in muscles, joints which provide
intrinsic information reguarding what class of movement is occurring
Interocpetors
Info. from the internal organs
of the body (heart, lungs etc.)
The info is passed to the central mechanism of
the brain via body's sensory nervous system
Perception
Involves the interpreting of the
sensory input, along with discrimination,
selection and coding of important
information that may be relevant to the
decision making process. Process of
selective attention and use of memory
are important at this stage
2) Response
Selection Stage
(CENTRAL STAGE)
Having identified information
from the display, this stage
involves deciding on the
necessary movement in the context
of the present situation occurring
Translatory/ Decision
making mechanism
This involves the individual
having to use the coded
information received to
recognise what is happening
around them in order to decide
and select the appropriate
motor programme to deal with
the situation
Perception,
Selective Attention,
Short Term Memory
and Long Term
Memory are all
involved in this stage
of the information
processing
3) Response Programming
Stage (OUTPUT)
The final stage is responsible for
the organisation of the different
motor systems in order to
deliver the chosen plan of action
Effector Mechanisms/
Effector Control
Motor programmes or
schemas are selected and
developed, involving short-term
and long-term memory.
These plan, in the form of coded
impulses, are sent via the body's
effector or motor nerves to the
appropriate muscles, telling
them what action to perform
Muscular Sytems
The muscles receive
the relevant 'motor
programme' or plan of
action in the form of
coded impulses; they
initiate the movement
and the action is
performed
Feedback
As a result of any
action, the receptor
systems receive
information in
various forms. Either
extrinsic (outside
body) or Intrinsic
(within the body)
The body's control
system, through a series
of receptors and
effectors controls our
movement by
evaluating the need for
action and executing it
when and where
deemed appropriate
Selective
Attenion
A process that filters irrelevant
information which has been
gathered by the sensory system.
Information is prioritised to help
speed up decision making
