11 –Performing & Choking Under Pressure
We have all seen it. A great athlete has a chance to win a championship. All that is required for them to do something they have done hundreds of times before…sink a 3 foot putt, make a free throw, kick a 20 year field goal. And they miss! In this episode I explore the fascinating topic of choking under pressure. Why do some athletes excel in these situations while others fail? What causes choking and want can an athlete do to prevent it? Research confessions: Choking under pressure while talking about choking under pressure Links to articles discussed: Test anxiety and direction of attention Choking under pressure: self-consciousness and paradoxical effects of incentives on skillful performance Paradoxical effects of supportive audiences on performance under pressure: The home field disadvantage in sports championships Thoughts and attention of athletes under pressure: skill-focus or performance worries?

10 - Skill Retention and Transferring to a New Sport
How long do athletes retain the sports skills they learn: 5 years, 10 years, forever? If they do lose something, what is it? How easy is it to transfer from one sport to another? What factors determine whether or not transfer will be successful? This episode explores the topic of retention and transfer of sports skills.

9 - Off the Learning Curve - Measuring Skill Acquisition
How do we know how well a new training program or piece of sports equipment is working? Is looking at how performance changes in practice (by plotting a "learning curve") really the best way to assess skill acquisition. No, no it isn’t. In this episode I make the case for going off the learning curve in favor of other ways of measuring skill learning in sport. Technically Challenged: Review of motion tracking system http://inertia-technology.com/promove-mini Links to articles discussed: Contextual interference effects on the acquisition, retention, and transfer of a motor skill Contextual interference: a meta-analytic study Practicing Field Hockey Skills Along the Contextual Interference Continuum: A Comparison of Five Practice Schedules Increased movement accuracy and reduced EMG activity as the result of adopting an external focus of attention More information http://www.perceptionactionpodcast.libsyn.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc) Twitter: @Shakeywaits Email: [email protected] Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Minimal Damage – Learning Curve Jenny O – Learned My Lessons Greg Houwer – Slow Learner Pablo – Learn a Lesson Golden Blondes – Skilled Beans & Bullets - Love Machine via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

8- How Do We Become an Expert? Intro to Skill Acquisition
Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said: “The importance of repetition until automaticity cannot be overstated”. Reaching a stage where some skills can be performed “automatically” is thought to be one of the main goals of sports training and one of the defining characteristics of being an expert. But what exactly does it mean for a sports skill to be “automatic” and how exactly is this desired state achieved through training? In this episode, I introduce the topic of skill acquisition be exploring traditional theories of how an athlete progresses from a novice to an expert. Research confessions: Does research always happen like we say it does in journal articles? Links to articles discussed: Movement automaticity in sport From attentional control to attentional spillover: a skill-level investigation of attention, movement, and performance outcomes Expertise, attention, and memory in sensorimotor skill execution: impact of novel task constraints on dual-task performance and episodic memory Fitts & Posner More information http://www.perceptionactionpodcast.libsyn.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc) Twitter: @Shakeywaits Email: [email protected] Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Matt Augustine - Learn How to Swim Jonathan DImmel – Learn From Me Sonic Avenues – Automatic Arsonist – Hot Salsa Trip Room One Eleven – Automatic via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

7 – What Should an Athlete Pay Attention To?
What should an athlete focus their attention on when performing their sport? Should you pay attention to how your body is moving, the crowd, your opponents, what you need to buy at the store after the game, or something else? Is it the same if you just learning the sport? In this episode I focus my attention of focusing attention. What Grinds My Gears: Does sports science get enough respect? Internal/external focus debate Links to articles discussed: When paying attention becomes counterproductive Attending to the Execution of a Complex Sensorimotor Skill: Expertise Differences, Choking, and Slumps Attention and motor performance: Preferences for and advantages of an external focus Enhancing the learning of sport skills through external-focus feedback From attentional control to attentional spillover: A skill-level investigation of attention, movement, and performance outcomes Effects of focus of attention on baseball batting performance in players of different skill level Increasing the distance of an external focus of attention enhances learning Enhancing performance proficiency at the expert level: Considering the role of ‘somaesthetic awareness’ Why did Tiger Woods shoot 82?

6 – Embodied Perception in Sport
Why do great athletes claim that on some nights baseballs look as big as a grapefruit, basketball hoops are like oceans and things move in slow motion? Are they just blowing a lot of hot air or is this really the way they see the world? In this episode, I explore embodied perception in sport…the idea that the way we see the world changes as a function of our action capabilities (e.g., whether we are an expert or novice, whether we are fresh or fatigued, etc). I also consider how we might take advantage of these effects in sports training programs. What Grinds My Gears: Publishing Links to articles discussed: Embodied Perception and the Economy of Action Embodied perception in sport Apparent Ball Size Is Correlated With Batting Average Being selective at the plate: processing dependence between perceptual variables relates to hitting goals and performance Action-specific effects in aviation: What determines judged runway size?

5 –Vision in Hitting and Catching
How does an athlete get their glove, racquet, hand, or foot to the right place at the right time to hit, catch or strike a moving object? In this episode, I explore visual information that can be used to judge the time to contact and direction of motion of an approaching object and how it can be applied to the outfielder problem. Research Confessions: The time I nearly published completely artifactual results Links to articles discussed: The Black Cloud Lee’s 1976 paper Grasping tau Accuracy of estimating time to collision using binocular and monocular information Estimating the time to collision with a rotating nonspherical object The visual perception of motion in depth Catching a baseball: OAC How baseball outfielders determine where to run to catch fly balls Unconfounding the direction of motion in depth, time to passage and rotation rate of an approaching object Motion perception and driving: predicting performance through testing and shortening braking reaction times through training IOVD Figure http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n103/rgrayaction/IOVD%20Fig.jpg More information http://www.perceptionactionpodcast.libsyn.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc) Twitter: @Shakeywaits Email: [email protected] Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Between the Eyes – Christian Milone Catch Me, I’m Falling – Oblivion’s Garden Farmertan - Ugly Truth via freemusicarchive.org
4 – Anticipation in Sports
How do great athletes seem to know what is going to happen next? What information to they use to predict the next serve will be cross court instead of down the line, how does a baseball batter know the next pitch will be a fastball, and how does an NFL quarterback know the defense will blitz? Can these abilities be improved through training? In this episode I explore the topic of anticipation in sports. What Grinds My Gears: Conference false advertising and fishing in movement science experiments Temporal occlusion video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8idV0V1Is8 Links to articles discussed: Anticipation in squash: differences in advance cue utilization between expert and novice players Can the anticipatory skills of experts be learned by novices?

3 – Eye Movements in Sports
What should an athlete look at when performing their sport? For example, should a soccer goalkeeper keep their eye on the shooter’s leg when trying to stop a penalty kick or on their upper body? Should a golfer look at the ball or the hole when putting? Do expert athletes look at different things than novices? Is it really possible to always keep your eye on the ball? In this episode, I examine the role of eye movements in sports. Research Confessions: My first batting simulator experiment and the importance of keeping conditions in an experiment the same Links to articles mentioned in the podcast: Visual search, anticipation and expertise in soccer goalkeepers Anticipation and visual search behaviour in expert soccer goalkeepers Visual search strategies of baseball batters: eye movements during the preparatory phase of batting The role of central and peripheral vision in expert decision making Gaze control in putting Quiet eye duration, expertise, and task complexity in near and far aiming tasks The "quiet eye" and motor performance: task demands matter!

2 - Vision Training Programs
Since the early 1980's, there have been several vision training programs developed which propose to improve the vision of athletes resulting in an associated improvement in their sports performance. Do these training programs actually work? Or could practice time be put to better use? In this episode, I review the research that has evaluated the effectiveness of these programs. Links to articles mentioned in podcast: Do generalized visual training programmes for sport really work?

1 - Vision in Sports
Sports talk is littered with phrases related to our eyes. We talk of great court vision, a good eye at the plate and seeing the ball well. But just how critical is vision to an athlete?Do professional athletes see better than we do? Can you play sports effectively if you have poorer than 20/20 vision? In this episode I dive into the topic of research in vision in sports. Links to articles mentioned in podcast: Popular Science Monthly tests Babe Ruth St. Louis Cardinals slugger Pujols gets Babe Ruth test The visual function of professional baseball players Dynamic visual acuity: a possible factor in catching performance The role of visual perception measures used in sports vision programmes Size of the Visual Field in Collegiate Fast-Pitch Softball Players and Nonathletes Motion perception and driving: predicting performance through testing and shortening braking reaction times through training Interaction of hand preference with eye dominance on accuracy in archery Is optimal vision required for the successful execution of an interceptive task?
