Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What happens at the input stage of information processing?
Model answer
The performer picks up information from the environment through the senses. The relevant cues are then selected and interpreted.
- 2
Which senses does a performer use to gather information?
Model answer
A performer uses vision, hearing, touch, balance and kinaesthesis. Touch, balance and kinaesthesis together make up proprioception.
- 3
What is the role of receptors in information processing?
Model answer
Receptors are sensory nerve endings that detect stimuli and send the information to the brain. Exteroceptors, such as the eyes and ears, detect information from outside the body.
- 4
What is proprioception?
Model answer
Proprioception is the sense of the body's position and movement. The sense is built from touch, balance and kinaesthesis.
- 5
Define kinaesthesis.
Model answer
Kinaesthesis is awareness of the position and movement of body parts. Receptors in the muscles, tendons and joints supply the information.
- 6
Why is balance important to a gymnast on the beam, and where is it detected?
Model answer
Balance keeps the gymnast's centre of mass stable over the narrow beam. The vestibular apparatus in the inner ear detects changes in balance.
