463 – Evidence Supporting the Ecological Approach to Skill Development

Exploration of how psychological research can be applied to improving performance, accelerating skill acquisition and designing new technologies in sports and other high performance domains. Hosted by Rob Gray, professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, the podcast will review basic concepts and discuss the latest research in these areas.

488- The Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) 2024

 A look at a recent study that addresses a question I get quite often: do the basic principles of motor learning, in this case, those proposed by OPTIMAL theory, still hold when we are dealing with highly skilled athletes?

487 – Do the classic motor learning effects (eg focus of attention, choice) apply to experts?

 A look at a recent study that provides evidence that cricket bowlers use movement variability (as opposed to repeatability) to regulate the timing and speed of their delivery. And looking back at a classic in ecological dynamics – the first study to show this effect.
