Input, decision making, output, feedback

Output, input, feedback, decision making

Feedback, output, input, decision making

Decision making, input, output, feedback

It is the output stage that actually carries out the chosen movement or response that has been decided on

It helps filter the relevant information from the irrelevant during the input stage

It provides the performer with feedback about the result after the action

It stores long-term memories only and plays no part in the input stage

Verbal and intrinsic feedback that the beginner works out for themselves

No guidance at all, leaving the beginner to learn entirely on their own

Visual and manual guidance with positive feedback

Only negative feedback that points out what the beginner has done wrong

Performance is always at its very best when arousal is extremely low

Performance is always at its very best when arousal is extremely high

Arousal has no effect at all on the standard of performance produced

Performance peaks at an optimal, moderate level of arousal

Deep breathing, mental rehearsal and positive self-talk

Skipping the warm-up completely so there is more time to prepare mentally

Avoiding all practice in the days leading up to the performance

Eating a very large meal immediately before the event is due to start

Intrinsic motivation is always money, while extrinsic motivation is always enjoyment

Intrinsic comes from within (enjoyment); extrinsic comes from outside (rewards)

They are exactly the same thing and there is no difference between them

Intrinsic motivation applies only to beginners and never to expert performers

Feedback about how the actual movement itself looked or felt to perform

Feedback that is only ever given to the coaches and never to the performer

Feedback about the outcome, such as whether the shot scored

Feedback that is always negative and only points out the performer's mistakes
