Memory models WHOLE UNIT

This pack contains revision resources for the memory models unit of A-level PE edexcel specification (3.7).

3.7.1 Information processing
Components of information processing, including: input,
stimulus identification, perception and selective
attention, response selection, response programming,
output – based on the models of Welford and Whiting.
Detection, comparison and recognition (DCR) phases.
3.7.2 The three memory systems as short-term sensory store
(STSS), short-term memory (STM) and long-term
memory (LTM).
3.7.3 STM and STSS: capacity, duration, encoding, chunking,
selective attention.
3.7.4 LTM: capacity, duration, encoding, recall, multi-store
memory.
3.7.5 Link between STSS, STM and LTM in terms of retrieval
and rehearsal and how this affects output.
3.7.6 Measuring reaction and response times using appropriate
technology.
Hick’s Law, simple/choice reaction time.
Plotting, interpreting and analysing data generated from
reaction and response times.
Psychological refractory period.
Implications to a coach and performer in optimising
performance.
3.7.7 Understanding that schema theory is an organised
package of information stored in LTM that updates and
modifies motor programmes.
Recall schema as in information about producing the
movement.
Recognition schema as in judging the movement.
Schemas based on knowledge of the initial conditions,
response specifications, sensory consequences and
movement outcomes.
Implications of schema theory to a coach and performer
in optimising performance.
