Document Summary
Information processing - 3 stage approach: how the brain processes various types of information. Information is processed in a serial and discrete fashion. Serial meaning a timeline of events: everything in stimulus identification has to occur before response selection, stimulus identification, stimulus detection. Sensory information is mapped onto a neurological signal. Occurs without conscious processing (unconscious substage required with visual processing: pattern recognition. Extracting features from the stimulus and make it meaningful so it can be used for information processing. Bunny rabbit with a hawk shadow, extracting information and making it meaningful so the bunny would run away from the shadow. Important in sport and occupation: game footage recognizes patterns much faster so in games they can adapt much easier. Stimulus identification stage was very developed - due to practice and improvement of pattern recognition: 10 years and 10 000 hours is effective for mastery.
