- Decision making
- Response selection stage
- deciding how to respond; deciding what to do
- deciding what movement to make given the nature of the environment
- Reaction time
- the time taken to make a decision
- genetically determined to a large extent
- influenced by uncertainty of the stimulus to the performer i.e. his lack of knowledge
- males tend to have faster reaction times than females and it slows as you get older
- more practice gives more knowledge - reduces reaction time
- Choice reaction time
- time taken for an individual to respond from a choice of several stimuli - each demanding a different response
- e.g. basketball player deciding whether to shoot, pass or dribble
- far commoner in sport
- Simple reaction time
- quicker than choice, becomes even quicker when attention is given to it
- time taken to respond to a single stimulus
- Movement time
- time from then the movement is initiated to the point when the movement is completed
- determined by muscle-fibre type and strength as well as the level of learning of the motor programme involved
- all can be improved by training/practice
- Response time
- time from stimulus being given to the end of the response
- response time = reaction time + movement time
- Response selection stage
