CH 1
Human purpose explanation to phenomena.
Theory
The system's job is to decide whether a stimulus has been presented and if so what it is.
Stimulus identification
What is defined as the brain can miss seemingly obvious features in the environment?
Inattentional blindness
What is defined as provides information to the processing system about the state of the environment in which one's body exists?
Exteroception
When is open loop control important?
What type of skill is defined as the environment is variable and unpredictable during the action?
Open
The system's job is deciding what response to make, given the nature of the situation and environment.
Response selection
What is defined as considering the processes occuring in the stimulus identification stage?
Parallel processing
What is defined as provides information about the state of the body itself?
Proprioception
True or false, reaction time can be shortened or lengthened under certain conditions?
True
What skill is defined as very brief duration of movement, like turning on and off a light switch?
Discrete
What is an important performance measure indicating the speed and effectiveness of decision making?
Reaction time
After an extending period of time, the task of concentrating on one stimuli becomes difficult.
Sustained attention
What is the collection of rays of light that are reflected from the environment?
Optical array
What represents a movements deep, fundamental structure?
Relative timing
What skill is defined as the arbitrary beginning and end, behaviors flow over time?
Continuous
What is the extent to which the stimulus and the response it evokes are connected in a natural way?
Stimulus response compatibility
What is controlled processing?
Processing is though to be slow and attentional
What is defined as provides information about the what in motor control, it is sensitive to events in central vision?
Ventral stream processing
What skill is defined as like shift gears in a stick shift, group of discrete skills strung together to make up a new, more complicated action?
Serial
What is a way a performer can shorten reaction time and organize movements in advance?
Anticipation
What is a double stimulation example?
A quarterback is trying to complete a pass but the defense is closing in. Which one is more important?
What would a delay in hearing auditory feedback result in?
Slowed speech and errors in timing and movements
