Document Summary

Practice of expertise: 10,000 hours makes you an expert, not fit as strongly for athletic pursuits, but can be good for occupation and music, opportunity, genetic and high level coaching can be a limiting factor. Input stimulus identification response selection response programming. Factors influencing response selection (sr: number of stimulus response alternatives, stimulus compatibility. Hicks law describes the time it takes for a person to make a decision as a result of the possible choices they have: increasing the number of choices will increase the decision time logarithmically. Incompatible mapping between word meaning and printed word colour increase. If fixation neurons are active, they prevent you from making a saccade. Has longer reaction times than a gap paradigm: gap paradigm fixation cross come son, participant fixates on cross, then it goes away, then the target appears. The target is not on at the same time as the fixation. Attention focalization and limitation of information processing resources.
