Document Summary

Fully identify a stimulus --> shipped forward to nect stage of processing --> programming of response. Stages of information processing are serial and discrete. Sensory information attained form external sources is detected and transformed into neurological signals. Neurological signals are mapped onto a meaningful event. Baseball approaching face at high rate of speed. Extracting patterns or features from environmental stimuli for use in latter stages of info processing. Training pattern recognition can optimize performance in temporally demanding sports and occupations. Training for pattern recognition can enhance game day or on field decisions and performance. Classic study by chase and simon (pattern recognition in 3 groups) Show participants chess board with chess pieces in 100 ms (blink of an eye) Chess pieces sometimes depicted places that the pieces were usually placed in a game (knight was where night usually is), sometimes they were random. For real game chess masters had a better recall and then plateaued at.
