The Perception & Action Podcast

A look at motor learning as a search within perceptual-motor workspace in the Search Strategies Approach theory. How do performers find stable regions in this workspace, and how does their search depend on their intrinsic dynamics and how they are coached.

Explore the intricacies of movement coordination in baseball batting. The discussion highlights how players use ground reaction forces to generate bat speed and adapt swing timing to various pitch types. Learn about Katsumata's fascinating study, measuring the impacts of pitch speed on swing segments. The podcast reveals how batters simplify complex movements into functional units and make compensatory adjustments for unexpected pitches, showcasing the impressive adaptability of skilled performance in the sport.

How consistently do you need to move in order to consistently be successful in a sports skill? Is low variability in movement kinematics a key to achieving your goal? How should we be measuring and conceptualizing movement variability?

How soon should you give an athlete performance feedback? Is there any value in delaying it a bit? What is happening in the time between an action finishing and feedback being processed? Articles: Feedback delay attenuates implicit but facilitates explicit adjustments to a visuomotor rotation An interpolated activity during the knowledge-of-results delay interval eliminates the learning advantages of self-controlled feedback schedules 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 Support the podcast and receive bonus content Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com
