Document Summary
Input: information / signals from the environment, selective attention. 5 input system but 1 output (muscles) Selective attention perception decision effector feedback. Effector: response programming, feedback 1, feedback 2. Perceptual mechanism: brake-lights flash in front of you, stimulus identification. Decision mechanism: car in front is stopping, decide to apply brakes, response selection. Effector mechanism: information sent via afferent nerves to brake, send the signals to the muscles, response programming. Meaning of the arrows: stimuli in the environment or, actual coding. Meaning of the boxes: at each stage transforms the information. Feedback (= info about error: difference between outcome & intention, adjust the next movement. Feedbacks: information about the errors, used for maintaining or changing the action. Arrows = flow of information 2 meanings: stimuli in the environment (environmental configurations) which are perceived and acted upon to achieve some goal (perform a skill, actual coding in the central nervous system.
