The Perception & Action Podcast

Is creativity in sports rooted in divergent thinking – the cognitive ability to generate a lot of ideas or in having a diverse set of motor skills? And a preview of the 2022 Baseball Skill Acquisition Summit.

A case study in how we should be doing theoretically-based task analyses of practice activities: the Rondo in soccer. Will the activity achieve its goals? Is it representative? Will it transfer to competition? Does it foster creativity and functional variability? My interview with Karl Marius Aksum.

How do motor synergies develop when we learning to catch a ball? How is this development shaped by the constraints imposed on the performer such as the information available during practice, the actions catching is nested within like postural control, and disorders like DCD ?

What is hysteresis in movement coordination? How can it be use to explain how the sequence of events influence an athlete's performance – without the need to bring in memory or inference processes?

Can athletes perceive which balls, sticks, bats, racquets, etc afford the greatest opportunity for hitting, throwing, etc? What information do they use for this and how does it relate to Gibson's concept of dynamic touch? How can we use this better design and fit sports equipment?

So, by now we all know movement variability is good! But it's not all good. A look at a framework for categorizing different types of movement variability and how it might allow us to better design training to enhance the good.
