MEMORY
- Short term sensory stores
- Short term memory
- Long term memory
SHORT TERM SENSORY STORES
- All incoming information is stored here
- Stores have a huge capacity
- Memories last for half a second maximimum
- Selective attention occurs here, useful information will be encoded
- If information is not attended to it will be lost

SHORT TERM MEMORY
- Info that is attended to moves from STSS to STM
- Capacity is limited to 5-9 items
- Info stays for as long as it is attended to
- Once unattended it is lost within 30 seconds
- Important when learning motor skills

SHORT TERM MEMORY
- All info involved in the learning and performing of skills is compared to existing info via the STM
- STM is sometimes called the working memory
- STM is important for the coach
- Instructions must be brief, to the point and given when the learner is paying attention
- Selective attention keeps the information alive in STM

LONG TERM MEMORY
- All info in the STM is either stored in the LTM or lost
- LTM is a store of well learned past experiences
- Limitless capacity and stored for years
- LTM the retention and retrieval of information
- This is influenced by rehersal, meaningfulness, speed of learning and over learning

LONG TERM MEMORY
- STM and LTM work together
- When carrying out a skill a performer will use both memory stores
- They must recognise the stimulus using STM and then respond by referring to their LTM
- The better the player the quicker they can process the information and the greater the capacity of the memory stores.
- A sports player will have to use both stores continually while carrying out a skill to select the right information to respond.
