The Perception & Action Podcast

Do athletes perform better when they talk to themselves? Should the talk be motivational or instructional? Positive or negative? Does it work for both novices and experts?

Articles/links:

The influence of self-talk on the performance of skilled female tennis players Self-talk influences vertical jump performance and kinematics in male rugby union players

Self-Talk of Marathon Runners

Self-Talk and Sports Performance: A Meta-Analysis

Effects of Self-Talk: A Systematic Review Self-talk: Review and sport-specific model

News: A look at a few recent journal articles. Do soccer players and referees sometimes see an event that never really happened? Can a basketball player detect where a dribbler is headed using sound alone? Is doing exercise in front of a mirror effective?

Articles:

Seeing the unseen? Illusory causal filling in FIFA referees, players, and novices

Expert Players Accurately Detect an Opponent's Movement Intentions Through Sound Alone The Effects of Either a Mirror, Internal or External Focus Instructions on Single and Multi-Joint Tasks

Why does the presence of others change the performance of an individual athlete? Why is this social facilitation effect sometimes good and sometimes bad? Does it matter whether the other people are observing, evaluating or performing the same action? Does being "observed" via activity monitoring technology facilitate performance?

Should the goal of practice be to reduce movement variability to as low a value as possible? Is high variability the signature of an unskilled performer or a necessity for effective learning?

Articles/links:

A schema theory of discrete motor skill learning

Feedback-Induced Variability and the Learning of Generalized Motor Programs Optimizing generalized motor program and parameter learning

Variability in baseball pitching biomechanics among various levels of competition

What variability tells us about movement expertise The bliss (not the problem) of motor abundance (not redundancy) Timing an attacking forehand drive in table tennis Regulation of gait in long jumping Inter-individual variability in the upper–lower limb breaststroke coordination Differing Roles of Functional Movement Variability as Experience Increases in Gymnastics The education of attention as explanation of variability of practice effects: learning the final approach phase in a flight simulator
