INFORMATION PROCESSING
Perception (Dom M)
Passing judgment after receiving stimulus is the basis of intelligent play. If you are repeatedly failing in a certain area of the game it is because you are unable to pass judgment based on what you have seen. Thurstonne suggests that perceiving is the comprehension of your surroundings. Passing judgment for any action requires the perception of stimulus. Without perception there would not be a thought process for a reaction. In volleyball, one requires the ability to perceive the actions or stimulus of the opposition and the ball. In further detail the stimulus could be the position of the opposition to assist in an offensive play or the trajectory and speed of a spike in defense. You can perceive and pass judgment at any learning phase. Although, the better the understanding of the game the smarter your reaction to the stimulus will be.

Deciding (Jack L)
- Brain decides on skill required based on information received
- Firstly brain decides what is important and what is not
- How fast someone reacts depends on age, skill level (sometimes sex)
- Decision making effects what, where, when, how skills will be performed
- To people in cognitive stage decision making uses previous experience to determine what action to take in a given situation.
- (knapp, 1963)
- Depending on level of skills (cognitive, associative, autonomous) depends on whether right decision made
- Decision making dependent on experience
- Follows predetermined responses (if ‘a’ happens,
we will do ‘b’) - All aspects of deciding depend on, rules of game, environment around us, and personal strengths and weaknesses
- Eg after acquiring information about height/ trajectory of ball and speed. Then player must decide what skill to use (dig,
set, spike).
Acting – Matt D
When learning through information processing, there are four main steps; perceiving, deciding, acting, and feedback. These are all equally important, as none of them will work without the others. Acting is the process of moving and performing the desired action, whether it is in a game of sport or learning some sort of movement in your body. Acting is described below as the ‘Output’.

This diagram shows the process that your body goes through when learning through information processing. Acting can clearly be defined as the actual movement of your body after perceiving (input), and deciding.
