  1. Information Processing Learning Objective: To understand information processing models and how they link in with sports performance

  2. Introduction The effectiveness of your information processing system is a vital factor in your ability. It can have a huge impact on your performance. It is often not the most skilful performer who succeeds but the performer who picks out the most relevant cues and ignores the irrelevant cues.

  3. Information Processing in it simplest form Feedback There are 4 stages:

  4. INPUT Information is gathered from the environment/display via the sensory system Also referred to stimulus identification. The performer uses his/her perceptual mechanisms Irrelevant information is filtered via selective attention. This increases the speed of decision making.

  5. DECISION MAKING Gathered information is then used to formulate a motor programme (also known as response identification) Relevant information is assessed and a decision is made based on previous experience.

  6. OUTPUT The motor programme is completed by the performer. This is called response programming. The motor programme is completed via the effector mechanism and the muscular system.

  7. FEEDBACK Detection and correction of errors causing a change in performance.

  8. Whiting’s Model (1969) The input is gathered via 3 forms of receptors in the sensory system. Exteroceptors: information gathered from outside the body – extrinsic: sight/sound/touch/smell/taste Which are the most important for sports performers? Proprioceptors: information gathered from inside the body via nerve receptors in the muscles and joints – intrinsic: the feeling of movement/kinaesthetic awareness. Interoceptors: information from the internal organs which is passed to the CNS – this would control functions such as blood flow, blood pressure and body temperature.

  9. TASK for P4 and homework Welford (1968) also proposed an information processing model. Find the diagram: E grade: describe Welford’s model C grade: explain the stages in Welford’s model A grade: compare and contrast the similarities between the 2 models (for an A grade you need to have done the C and A grade tasks)
