Feedback: the player visualizes whether he was successful in his move.

Explanation:

The information processing model presents the way in which our organism is able to visualize a situation and respond according to the activities that are happening in that situation.

The steps of this model are: input, decision making, output, and feedback

If we take into account a sport where the player must hit the ball with a club, for example, these steps would happen as follows:

Imput: The player can see the ball approaching.
Decision making: The player decides which move he should make to hit the ball.
Outout: The player hits the ball with a club (or other instrument, depending on the sport)
Feedback: the player visualizes whether he was successful in his move.
