Document Summary
Sensory information attained from external sources is detected and transformed into neurological signals, which are mapped into a meaningful event. Extracting patterns or features from environmental stimuli for use in latter stages of information processing. Can be a natural or a trained phenomenon. Increasing the number of alternatives relevant to a response increases the time required to process and select an appropriate response. Subjects are faster and make fewer errors for a spatially compatible environment. Name the colour the word is written in. Supresses the standard response of saying word first, then have to evoke the nonstandard response to say the level; requires high level cognitive processing and increases rt and errors. Action must be translated into appropriate muscular signals to achieve task goals. 3 different tasks, each increased in number of things to complete. People plan movement sequence in advance to performing it. Most professional athletes are generally born in the first quartile of the year.
