ENS 307 Anticipation
perceptual anticipation
ENV events are predictable based on a great deal of practice pg 3
ex of constant duration foreperiod
Leaders in military drills (cue when the next mvmnt should occur) pg 8
types of temporal anticipation
constant duration foreperiods variable duration foreperiods aging foreperiods
Direct influence of memory
deliberate search/retrieval of trying to remember info ex trying to remember someones name pg12
receptor anticipation
detect events with sensory receptors pg 3
Variable duration foreperiod
duration changes Avg of variable foreperiod produces shorter RT
constant duration foreperiod
duration is constant Can be either long or short in duration pg 6
effector anticipation
estimate how long individual's own movement will take pg 3
cost/benefit of anticipation
faster mvmnt/higher chance of false prediction pg 11
ex of spatial anticipation
goalkeeper reaction to penalty kick in soccer (extracting certain feature b/f ball moves) pg 4
types of anticipation
receptor anticipation effector anticipation perceptual anticipation pg 3
anticipation important principles
spatial anticipation/temporal anticipation pg 3
sensory memory
the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information in the memory system pg 12
ex of Variable duration foreperiod
the ready before the start of a race
Short term memory
Workspace for processing/storage duration 1-60 sec Capacity can hold multiple factors
temporal anticipation
Anticipating when the stimulus will arrive (foreperiods-warning signals) pg 5
indirect influence of memory
Memories from past experiences ex motor skills-running/walking pg 12
working memory
a newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conscious, active processing of info from sensory memory
Aging foreperiod
Used only in research No catch trials/The longer the foreperiod the shorter RT
spatial anticipation
Where and what is going to happen pg 4
anticipation
The process of attempting to predict the outcome of a stimulus pg 2
