1. Information processing

2. Input (stimulus identification)
Information gathered from environment via sensory system using perceptual mechanisms
Irrelevant information filtered through selective attention
Decision Making (response identification)
Information gathered forms motor programme
Relevant information assessed and decision based on translatory mechanism
Examples at each stage:
Input: gathering information- senses: crowd noise, speed and direction of ball, location of team mates
Decision making: choosing correct pass to make, irrelevant information filtered out via selective attention
Output: the pass is completed
Output (response programming)
- Motor programme completed via effector mechanism and muscular system

3. Whiting’s information processing model
Input from environment
Receptor systems are the sensory inputs
Perceptual mechanisms- 4 input to 1, why? Selective attention. Speed of ball, trajectory, position of players
Translatory- making sense of information and deciding what to do
Effector- movement

4. Receptors for gathering information
Exteroceptors: information from outside (extrinsic), sight, sound, touch
Proprioceptors: information from inside the body via nerve receptors (intrinsic)
Interoceptors: information from internal organs to control blood flow, body pressure and temperature

5. Display: physical environment, performer must select the relevant cues
Selective attention: process filtering information from sensory system and prioritising stimuli
Motor programme: series of sub-routines to perform a movement adapting to environment

6. Perceptual mechanism: interpretation and analysis of information gathered from the environment by the sensory system
Translatory mechanism: uses information gathered from environment to make the appropriate decision
Effector mechanism: transfers decision been made to muscular system via motor nerves
