Visual - performer sees what to do Verbal - describes how to perform a skill Manual - coach physically moves performer Mechanical - objects or aid used to assist |
|
What is a disadvantage of manual guidance? |

|
Define Guidance |
Guidance is a method of conveying information to a performer. |
|

Selective attention = where the performer filters out the irrelevant information to focus on the key cues. |
|
Define input |
Input = data recieved from the display |
|
Information is stored where? |
In our memory |
|
Data from the INPUT is then...? |
a) analysed b) appropriate response selected *this means you access similar memories from past experiences and choose the appropriate response |
|
Define your short term memory |
The place where information is initially stored |
|
How many pieces of information can your short term memory hold and for how long? |
It can hold 7 pieces of information for approximately 60 seconds |
|
What must occur for a piece of information to be stored in your long term memory? |
It must be repeated or rehearsed |
|
Define long term memory |
Your long term memory is a store of well-learned past experiences |
|
What is the capacity of your long term memory? |
CAPACITY = unlimited and can hold information for a long time |
|
What is stage 3 of information processing? |
Output |
|
What happens during the stage of output? |
The previous decision is acted on - information is sent from the brain to the working muscles via the CNS to carry out the selected response` |
|
What is stage 4 of the information processing system? |
Feedback |
|
Define feedback |
the information a performer recieves about their performance. feedback can be given during and/or after a performance |
|
What is intrinsic feedback? |
Recieved from own senses, emotions or thoughts. Inclues kinaethetic feedback which comes from receptors in own muscles and tells you how the movement physically felt |
|
Define extrinsic feedback |
Recieved from external sources such as the coach, spectators or video replay |
|
State 2 facts regarding DEEP BREATHING |
- breathing rate can increase before competition - take slow, deep breathes helps breathing to return to normal rate - helps increase O2 to brain - Reduce stress and anxiety |

Fine movements require use of smaller muscles to complete small, precise movements |
|
Give an example sport where FINE MOVEMENT is used |
Snooker |
|
What is the difference between a SELF-PACED skill and an EXTERNALLY-PACED skill? |
SELF-PACED SKILL - The performer decides when to initiate the skill. They controll the speed, rate or pace of the skill EXTERNALLY PACED SKILL - Skills started in response to an external factor. Speed, pace of skill execution decided by oponent |
|
Give an example for an externally paced skill |
General play in badminton - Have to react to opponents shot to determine what shot you will play |
|
What is an open skill |
An open skill is a skill that is performed somewhere that the environment is always changing |
|
What is the difference between an open and a closed skill? |
In a closed same the environment does not changed whereas it does in an open skill ie. weather conditions, movement of team mates etc... |
|
Give an example sport of a CLOSED SKILL |
DIVING - height of platform does not change - depth of water stays roughly the same |
|
Do closed skills apply more to open or closed skills? |
OPEN SKILLS |
|

6 |
|
What is positive feedback? |
Positive feedback is what was good or correct about performance |
