The Perception & Action Podcast

A discussion with Gerard Jones, Head of Coaching at Bristol Rovers Football Club. We discuss topics including developing decision making skills in players through improved communication, how to handle regional differences in sports vocabulary, encouraging different levels of knowledge in players, and how to balance player and coach development.

How important is feel or body awareness in sports? How can we assess kinaesthetic sensitivity and proprioceptive acuity in athletes and can these be improved through training? How does it influence an athlete's ability to implement technical changes? Articles: Level of competitive success achieved by elite athletes and multi-joint proprioceptive ability Exploring the kinaesthetic sensitivity of skilled performers for implementing movement instructions Examining the Effects of Proprioceptive Training on Coincidence Anticipation Timing, Reaction Time and Hand-Eye Coordination The relationship between lower limb proprioceptive sense and locomotor skill acquisition The Contributions of Body Awareness to "Choking under Pressure" The role of proprioception in the management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries Do elite athletes exhibit enhanced proprioceptive acuity, range and strength of knee rotation compared with non-athletes?

How well can we integrate samples from a visual scene (e.g. when an outfielder is trying to catch a fly ball and has to look from the ball to the wall and back)? How long of a view do we need and what interval between samples can we tolerate? Does training to perform under such intermittent conditions result in improvements and transfer to performance in full vision conditions? Articles: Intermittent visual pickup and goal directed movement: a review Integration of intermittent visual samples over time and between the eyes I Lost It in the Lights: The Effects of Predictable and Variable Intermittent Vision on Unimanual Catching Intermittent vision and one-handed catching: the effect of general and specific task experience The Influence of Restricted Visual Feedback on Dribbling Performance in Youth Soccer Players Links: Plato Occlusion Glasses Senaptec Stroboscopic Glasses Stephen Curry Strobe Training vlog: https://youtu.be/faGEdfqmsvM More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc) Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Reigning Sound – Wait and See Stiff Little Fingers – Wait and See The Vandalias – Wait and See Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

News: A look at a few recent articles in the area of motor learning and performance. Can skill execution be improved by combining self and expert models in video feedback? How do combat athletes using affordance to control interpersonal distance? How can we determine the degree to which the decisions made by teammates are coordinated? Articles: Innovative Video Feedback on Jump Landing Improves Landing Technique in Males Perception of Affordances for Striking Regulates Interpersonal Distance Maneuvers of Intermediate and Expert Players in Kendo Matches Investigating team coordination using a novel joint decision making paradigm Links: Riding a reverse bicycle Vlog – perceptual motor adaptation using prisms New VR transfer of training paper abstract Training & Understanding Sports Skills Using Virtual Environments More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc) Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action The Muffs – Just a Game The Brought Low – This Ain't No Game Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

A discussion with Stephanie Rossit, Lecturer in Psychology from the University of East Anglia in the UK. We discuss perceptual and action related deficits in visual neglect, brain areas associated with online and offline control of action, her recent work with patient DF that challenges some well know previous findings, and her research examining ways to rehabilitate neglect patients.

Professor Damian Farrow discusses optimizing practice design, individualizing variability, balancing diversification in sports, the value of video training, emerging technologies, and ongoing research projects in skill acquisition and talent tracking.

A discussion with Jenelle Gilbert, Professor in the Department of Kinesiology, California State University Fresno. We discuss the importance of mental skills training in sports and beyond, her concept of the Psychological UNIFORM, using a Game Plan format to teach mental skills and her recent research looking at the stressors faced by coaches.

A discussion with Bruce Hoyer, Martial Arts Coach at the Next Edge Academy in South Dakota. We discuss how Bruce has employed a variety of different ideas from sports science research in his coaching including using a flipped classroom, observational learning, giving feedback and reducing interference in motor learning.

What do we mean when we say an athlete is "in the flow"? How often does it occur? What brings it on? Can we control it? How does it relate to "psychological momentum" and performance? Articles/links: A systematic review of the experience, occurrence, and controllability of flow states in elite sport The relation of flow-experience and physiological arousal under stress — Can u shape it? Understanding the psychophysiology of flow: A driving simulator experiment to investigate the relationship between flow and heart rate variability Is Flow Really Effortless? The Complex Role of Effortful Attention Interactive effects of visuomotor perturbation and an afternoon nap on performance and the flow experience Psychological momentum: Why success breeds success More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc) Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Dave Mason – Let it Go, Let it Flow Son Volt - Flow Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com
