What does objectivity entail?
|
Observation are subject to public verification
Sensitivity Precision |
|
What does reliability entail?
|
Can the measure be repeated
External/Environmental Experiment Control Record of many observations - mean of performance Group Data |
|
What does validity entail?
|
Internal - extent to which the test measures what it intended to measure
External - extent to which findings can be generalized to a larger group or other contexts |
|
What is the most effective way to present experimental results and what are they.
|
Graphs
line/bar graph scatter plot surface plot (3D) |
|
What are the types of motor skill classified by organization? Brief intro and example.
|
discrete - well defined beginning and end - golf swing
serial - actions connected together in sequence - piano continuous - no recognizable beginning or end |
|
What are the types of motor skill classified by cognitive elements? Brief intro and example.
|
motor - quality of movement - hurdles
cognitive-motor - movement and decision making - most sports cognitive - quality of decision making - poker |
|
What are the types of motor skill classified by level of environmental predictability? Brief intro and example.
|
open skill - in an unpredictable or in motion environment, respond to dynamic properties of environment - basketball
semi-predictable - a little bit of both - baseball closed - environment is predictable or stationary and individuals can plan movement in advance - swimming |
|
Fractionate the response time.
|
Premotor Reaction Time - between the onset of stimulus and start of muscle activity
Motor Reaction Time - between onset of muscle activity and observable movement Movement Time - movement start to movement end |
|
Fractionate the reaction time.
|
Premotor Reaction Time - between the onset of stimulus and start of muscle activity
Motor Reaction Time - between onset of muscle activity and observable movement |
|
What are the stages of information processing?
|
S - Stimulus detection---->Stimulus identification---->Response Selection - R
|
|
What is black box?
|
input---->processing---->output
|
|
What is serial processing?
|
When all three stages happen stage by stage, sequential processing
|
|
What is parallel processing?
|
Three stages happen simultaneously
|
|
What is an example of parallel processing?
|
Stroop Effect
|
|
What can influence reaction time?
|
increase complexity S-R alternatives
|
|
How can we determine the cues for selective attention?
|
self reporting
eye movement recording cue occlusion approach |
|
What is self reporting? What is the advantage and limitation?
|
Used to determine selective attention. Direct verbal access to expert's control process. It is subjective and bias.
|
|
What is eye movement recording? What is the advantage and limitation?
|
Used to determine selective attention. real-time recording of the eye movement where the attention happened. Visual fixation and attention are not mutually exclusive.
|
|
What is perceptual narrowing for attention?
|
As arousal increases our attention narrows and lose input for more peripheral aspects of environment. Also attention shifts more easily and we are easily distracted.
|
|
What is the main difference between cue occlusion approach and perceptual narrowing for attention?
|
Perceptual takes into account the distraction side of it.
|
|
What is cue occlusion approach?
|
Used to determine selective attention. Selectively editing a video to mask thing out or alter the time. Either temporal occlusion or spatial occlusion.
|
|
What is temporal occlusion?
|
Masking out visibility to a specific time periods of environmental information
|
|
What is spatial occlusion?
|
Masking out spatial aspects of the video like an arm, head or racket of a badminton player.
|
|
What is Yerkes-Dodson Law?
|
Upside down U
|
|
Arousal is the ___ axis and Performance is the ____ axis?
|
x
y |
|
Low complexity is to the ____ of high complexity on the graph of Yerkes-Dodson Law.
|
right
|
|
Experts are to the ____ of novices on the graph of Yerkes-Dodson Law.
|
right and up
|
|
Why does a low complexity task take more arousal to perform good?
|
Because it takes more arousal to keep you attention on the task.
|
|
What are the two major experimental designs?
|
Independent Group design
Repeated Measures Design |
|
In independent group design, # ____ = # ____. Give an example.
|
groups = condition
10 people split in half, one group one condition the other group is another |
|
In repeated measures design, # ____ = # ____.
|
repetition = condition
10 people, all tested in every condition |
|
Draw the table for types of memory.
|
See part 3 pg 10 in notes
|
|
How can we measure accuracy for a discrete task?
|
With the use of constant error, absolute error, and variable error
|
|
How can we measure accuracy for a continuous task?
|
root mean squared
|
|
What is Interference Theory for Memory?
