What would be the senses that would be
stimulated by the receptors?
Vision, hearing and proprioception (TKE)
Touch – feeling pressure/pain Example?
Kinaesthesis – know how the movement
should ‘feel’. Example?
Equilibrium – knowing how balanced you are,
information generated by the middle ear.
Example? Who would use this a lot?



Everything in the
surroundings or
environment
Some of this
information will
stimulate the sensory
system of the
performer.
What would be the
display for a footballer?

Vision

Hearing

Proprioception




This process interprets and makes sense of
the information received
It has 3 elements:
DETECTION: the brain detects the stimulus is
present
COMPARISON: the brain compares the stimuli
to the long-term memory
RECOGNITION: the stimulus is
matched/recognised to one stored in the
long-term memory



Detection- other player who is coming
towards you.
Comparison – Compare this to what
happened the last time you went towards the
player.
Recognition – The stimulus is matched to
being smashed into the floor.
How could you apply the DCR process to our
Tennis Player ?

Our memory plays an important role in the
perceptual and decision making processes.
Why?

Short-term sensory store (STSS)

Short-term memory (STM)

Long-term memory (LTM


(0.25-1sec)
Large capacity and decides what information is important and it
attends to that.
Other information is quickly lost.

Could attend to crowd.

Could attend noise.

Could attend to spin on ball.

Sprinter attend to the gun. ( simple so low perceptual load, so
can attend to the gun)


Dependant on experience



Once the information has been interpreted a
response now needs to be selected and put
into action.
What decision could our tennis player have
made?
The action will be in the form of a ‘MOTOR
PROGRAMME’
What decisions could our player make?


The motor
programme is put
into action by
sending impulses
via the nervous
system to the
muscles to carry
out the action
The movement is
then performed




From the
proprioceptors / feel
of the movement
Example?
Experienced
performers use it to
adjust their
movements
Beginners use it to
learn the ‘feel’ of the
movement
INTRINSIC





From external sources
What could they be?
Received by
visual/auditory senses
Used to augment
intrinsic feedback
Important for
beginners as intrinsic
feedback is limited
EXTRINSIC

Serial Processing
When information is processed in stages.
Goes in a sequence.
Trampoline sequence
Jump
Turn
Straddle jump
Swivel hips







When information is processed at the same
time i.e. received a pass.
Following process at the same time.
Height of ball
Speed of ball
Direction
Position
Position of opposition


Try and complete the
boxes related to one
movement.
Remember this
happens over and over
again.
