1. 2.2 Memory
What are the characteristics and functions of the Short Term memory?
What are the characteristics and functions of the Long Term memory?
How can we improve our memory?

2. Memory
Once information has been processed it can be stored in the brain so it is available to use the next time a similar sporting context occurs.
Memory, stores and codes the results of the perception (Decision Making)
There are two types of memory store...
Short term
Long term
Information is moved between the two stores with a two-way relationship
Short
Long

3. Short term memory Characteristics
Temporary- 30 second time limit (moved to long term or lost)
Works quickly (fraction of a second)
Limited capacity
How is it used?
Information is taken in from the display
Information is filtered using selective attention (avoid information overload)
Relevant information is sent to short term memory
Short term memory uses information to initiate movement
Information is passed onto long term memory

4. Long term memory Characteristics Permanent Unlimited capacity
“Even if you don’t ride a bike for 20 years you won’t forget how to do it”
Used for
Information is passed from the short term memory store to long term memory store
Information is coded in the long term memory store
Information is stored in the form of a motor programme

5. Memory in the Central Nervous system
Short-term sensory store
Short-term memory store
Long-term sensory store
To decision making...
Selective attention
Encoding
Decoding

7. Improving Memory Various ways to improve memory... Practice Chaining
Enables you to help make information in the LTM permanent
Coaches will remind players of previous success
Chaining
Breaking a complex skill down into a series of simpler actions
Chunking
Putting bits of information together to use less of your capacity
Mental Rehearsal
Creating a mental picture of the skill to remember actions associated
