A model of information processing Stimulus Identification Response Selection Response Programming Input Output
Reaction Time • Reaction time is the measure of input and central processes or until the beginnings of overt movement • Types of Reaction Time Defined • Simple Reaction Time • Choice Reaction Time • Discrimination Reaction Time
Two factors affecting stimulus identification are: Stimulus Clarity – Sharpness, Focus Stimulus Clarity - Focus Stimulus Intensity - Brightness, Loudness Stimulus Intensity - Brightness, Loudness Peripheral Vision
Inverted U-Hypothesis High Performance Low Low High Arousal
What affects the inverted U-Hypothesis? • Inter and intra-individual differences • Meaningfulness • Complexity • Variation • Uncertainty • Intensity
Perception is responsible for: • Detection • Comparison • Recognition
Information Comparison • Information comparison is measured in a paradigm where two intensities from the same source are present for a time period long enough to detect the information • Just Noticeable Difference (JND) means the least amount of difference required to report the difference in stimuli and be correct at least 50 percent of the time.
Absolute Judgment • Absolute judgment is the extent to which a participant is capable of matching a stimulus in the environment to one already stored in memory.
Perceptual ProcessLimitations • Space: 7+2 items • Time: 20 - 60 seconds
How is detection of information explained in motor behavior? • Low activation system information is lost • High activation system too much noise and information is lost • Uncertainty – speed • Noise – poor quality or ambiguity • Arousal
Adam’s Closed Loop Theory (1971) Movement Organizer Standard Movement Error Detector
What is selective attention? • Selective attention means paying attention to those regulatory aspects of the environment.
Cocktail Party Phenomenon • Meaningfulness • Pertinence
Kahneman’s (1973) Model of Selective Attention • Enduring Dispositions • “rules of involuntary attention” • Momentary Intentions • Attention to things where instruction leads us to pay attention
