Assignment 1: Diagram a motor skill using the above information processing model.
Choose and describe a hypothetical athlete/individual and a motor skill you would like to teach
Explain whether this skill is closed vs open, discrete, serial, or continuous.
Explain the individual’s ability and all situational/environmental issues.
Explain issues of anticipation and possible arousal associated with learning and performing the skill
Find and summarize one peer-reviewed journal article (one-page review + APA reference) that supports your choice of a skill, teaching method, concern, need from an information processing related position. This article is in addition to the required 6 articles for your reference list. You must identify this article in your paper as your summarized peer-reviewed article.
Remember, additional APA in-text documentation and references are required to support your analysis (review rubric)
Now the Diagram……………….Create a detailed outline of your skill with the following headings and explanations:
1. Display:
Identify all key information that typically confronts the learner. This will include both, important teaching information, and also possible irrelevant personal and environmental information.
2. Sensory Register:
Explain what information is attended to (registered), why?
3. Selective Filter:
Explain what information from the display is retained and what information is not attended to.
4. Encoding:
Explain what information remains in attention and memory and why.
5. Short-term memory:
Explain how you will help the athlete move the key information into short-term memory and analyze, interpret, integrate, create a schema for future selection.
6. Choice Delay:
Explain:
What is meant by choice delay, why it happens, and why this issue is important?
Response execution of long-term memory: Explain this process, how it happens, how it is improved, why it might not happen consistently.
