Kahneman’s Attention Theory
Using Kahneman’s Attention Theory explain a sport specific task. Remember this theory involves the idea of flexible attention that still has a limited capacity – meaning we still have a single “pool” of cognitive effort we are able to allocate and the allocation of these resources are influenced by several factors.
Therefore, explain the skill you’d be performing and the context in which it would perform, what your arousal state is and how that affects your attentional capacity level. Then using the allocation policy provide examples of things outside of the skill itself that would pull attention including enduring dispositions, momentary intentions, and evaluation of demands on capacity. Finally, explain how you would or would not complete the skill based on these allocations (i.e. your response).
