What is 'the idea that our brains can only process a certain amount of information at once; too much information results in overload
Limited Channel Capacity
What kind of feedback is this player receiving?

Output
Three phases of warm up
Pulse raiser
Dynamic stretches
Skill familarisation
Discuss the difference between a fine and gross skill?
Fine - precise levels of skills that require high levels of accuracy and technique.
Gross - movements that use large muscle groups to produce big, powerful movements.
In the simple information processing model what is the correct order of events
Input - decision making - output - feedback
Place running in any one of the skills continuum you know.

Explain any two physiological benefits of warm up
Stretch the muscles and gets them ready for exercise

Place swimming in closed to open skills continuum
closed
The long jump is what type of skill?
What is extrinsic feedback in information processing model
Feedback from external sources coaches, spectators teammates .
Give a brief summary of the four stages of the information-processing model.
Input - information received via senses, or feedback from previous experience.
Decision-making - information analysed, stored in Short-Term Memory (STM) and after repeated trials can be stored in Long-Term Memory (LTM)
Output - decision is made and then acted upon. Brain sends messages to muscles
Feedback - Intrinsic and extrinsic feedback allows you to determine what was good or bad about the performance.
Which stage of the decision making process is shown here?
Output
How does culture affect skill learning?
Background can affect the skills one learns eg a person form a community/ country or family that plays football will most likely play that sport.
A skill that can be affected by the environment is...
