Number 2: 315 – Interview with Christian Vater, Bern, Using Peripheral Vision in Sports, Gaze Training
A discussion with Christian Vater from the University of Bern. What are the different ways athletes use peripheral vision in sports? Can you train an athlete to adopt a different gaze strategy? How can we use VR to better understand and train vision in sports.

Number 3: 314 – Knowing Your Opponent: Deception & an Ecological View on Using Probability Information
A look at recent studies investigating the use of situational probabilities by athletes? Does knowing your opponent's tendencies make you more susceptible to deception? Does it matter whether you are given probability info about your opponent or acquire it yourself? How can we account for the use of this type of information in an ecological approach to action?

Number 4: 313 – Do Explicit Strategies for Altering Technique Interfere with Implicit Motor Learning?
How do implicit and explicit learning interact with each other? If a coach gives an athlete an explicit strategy for correcting their technique is it going to hinder implicit learning? What does this say about whether it is a good idea for a coach to sample from different theoretical approaches and philosophies in practice design? Articles: An implicit plan overrides an explicit strategy during visuomotor adaptation. A spatial explicit strategy reduces error but interferes with sensorimotor adaptation Implicit adaptation compensates for erratic explicit strategy in human motor learning 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

Number 5: 312 – Adding Variability, Execution Redundancy & "Essential Noise" to Practice with Equipment Modifications
A look at how modifying sports equipment (e.g., changing size, altering mass distribution or making more flexible) can enhance motor learning by adding variability and increasing movement execution redundancy.
