Motor Learning Test 1

Front 1

what are the 3 stages of information processing

Back 1

Stimulus ID/ perception
Response selection
Response Programming

Front 2

Example of Stimulus ID/ perception

Back 2

Color contrast: black hockey puck on white out, (the standout value is greater)

Front 3

Example of Response selection

Back 3

Baseball pitch:if you don't know what pitch is coming your chances of hitting are less. (more uncertainty)

Front 4

Example of Response programming

Back 4

more complex the movement the greater time required for task: a fast pass compared to a slow pass.

Front 5

Serial Processing and what stage it occurs

Back 5

Serial- one choice at a time ...occurs in 2nd stage

Front 6

Parellel processing and what stage is occurs in

Back 6

Parellel-multiple information coming in...1st and 3rd stage.

Front 7

what is the black box analogy and why is it not used.

Back 7

input -> human -> output
not used b/c it's outdated and b/c you have information processing theory which is more specific

Front 8

what is Hick's Law, and what stage does it occur

Back 8

relatoinship b/t number of movement choices and time needed to prepare a response, where the higher the degree of uncertainty, the longer the time needed to decide response...2nd stage

Front 9

Hick's Law and bit formula
0 bits=? choices
1 bits=? choices
2 bits=? choices

Back 9

1
2
4
choices double as bit increases by 1

Front 10

Increase/decrease of stimulus ID stage:

Back 10

increase: white hockey puck on white ice
decrease: black puck on white ice

Front 11

increase/decrease of response selection:

Back 11

increase: don't know what pitch is coming
decrease: know what pitch is coming

Front 12

increase/decrease o f response programming:

Back 12

increase: full bat swing
decrease: choking up on bat to make swing shorter

Front 13

what are the three types of memory:

Back 13

Sensory register
short-term memory
long term

Front 14

ways to increase memory:

ways to decrease memory:

Back 14

- chunking, add meaning

- distraction

Front 15

what is serial recall?

Back 15

recalling in exact order
ex. social security number

Front 16

What is free recall?

Back 16

recalling in no specific order
ex just saying the numbers in aany order

Front 17

what are the 3 systems for long term memory and their description:

Back 17

episodic:personal experiances associated with time context
semantic:general knowledge associated with experiances not associated with time
procedural:info on how something is done (skills or actions)

Front 18

what's declarative knowledge?
and what system of memory does it relate to?

Back 18

knowledge that can be described-
episodic and semantic

Front 19

what is procedural knowledge and what system of memory does it relate?

Back 19

knowledge that usually can't be described-
procedural

Front 20

What is perceptual narrowing?

Back 20

narrowing of attentional focus with increasing levels of arousal

Front 21

Give a positive and negative example of perceptual narrowing:

Back 21

positive: Powerlifter; when you want to just focus on one stimuli
negative: Quarterback; when you want to focus on many stimuli

Front 22

define Attention:

Back 22

never clearly defined, implies withdrawl from something to focus on others

Front 23

How can attention as arousal be mearsured?

Back 23

- heart rate varibility
- clammy skin
- pupil dialation
