What is the Short-Term Sensory Store?

• A short term memory store that passes information onto the long-term memory

• A long-term memory storage system

• A memory store for physical movements

• A memory store for information and stimuli being processed by sensory organs

How much information can be held in Short-Term Memory?

• 100,000 items

• 7 items (+/- 2)

• Unlimited

• 1 item

How long can information be stored in Short-Term Sensory Store?

• 1 hour

• < 1 second

• Unlimited

• < 30 seconds

'In the STSS information is only retained if it is important and relevant to the performer.' This is an example of...

• Single Channel Hypothesis

• Psychological Refractory Period

• Selective Attention

What is Selective Attention in relation to memory?

• Focusing on irrelevant information as it may be useful at a later time.

• Focusing on important stimuli while disregarding irrelevant information

• Focusing on as many stimuli as possible.

Which factors affects Response Time?

• Height, Gender and Number of Stimuli

• Age, Gender and Number of Stimuli

• Age, Height and Number of Stimuli

• Age, Gender and Height

What is the Single Channel Hypothesis?

• States that secondary stimuli must wait until the initial stimuli is processed.

• States that multiple stimuli can be processed simultaneously (at the same time).

• States that multiple stimuli have no impact on response time.

What does the Psychological Refractory Period refer to?

• A period where you are able to process and respond to more than one stimuli at a time.

• A period of enhanced response time.

• A period where response to a second stimulus is slowed due to you processing the first.

What is Coding in memory improvement?

• Giving a learner a small amount of information at a time to avoid overload.

• Ensuring that new learning is linked to what players already know.

• Avoid trying to learn or teach two similar but distinct items in the same session.

• Naming or labelling sets of information. E.G. Topic 1 or SMART Targets

What is Brevity in memory improvement?

• Giving a learner a small amount of information at a time to avoid overload.

• Giving a learner all the available information at once.

• Practice repeatedly to allow the information to repeatedly transfer between the short and long-term memory.

• Avoid trying to learn or teach two similar but distinct items in the same session.
