October 31, 2016 39A – Halloween Special II: Effects of Fear on Perception & Performance
Is fear in a performer a debilitating problem that must be overcome? Or can freezing from fear actually improve our ability to perceive and act?

Articles:

Ready and waiting: Freezing as active action preparation under threat
Simulated self-motion alters perceived time to collision
Freezing promotes perception of coarse visual features

Seeing fearful body language rapidly freezes the observer's motor cortex

October 25, 2016 39 – Perceptual-Motor Development II: Ecological Approach
A look at perceptual-motor development from the ecological perspective. If it's not pre-programmed by our genetics, how does a child's pattern of movements emerge from the dynamical constraints of their environment? And how does movement shape perceptual discovery?

Articles/links:

Motor Development: A New Synthesis

Infant bouncing: The assembly and tuning of action systems

Crawling versus walking infants' perception of affordances for locomotion over sloping surfaces

Motor Development (Adolph & Berger)
Motor development and the mind: the potential role of motor abilities as a determinant of aspects of perceptual development Development of visual motion perception for prospective control: brain and behavioral studies in infants

October 18, 2016 38A – Interview with Andrew Wilson, Leeds Beckett, Ecological Approach
A discussion Andrew Wilson from Leeds Beckett. We discuss ecological psychology ideas like motor abundance, functional equivalence and degeneracy, Andrew's recent study on task dynamics and information in throwing, his work on affordances and throwing prehistoric stones, and the current and future state of the ecological approach.

October 13, 2016 38 – Perceptual-Motor Development I: Traditional Approaches
A look at perceptual-motor development from an information processing, stage-based perspective. What is the relative importance of genetics and early experience? Are their critical periods in which perceptual and motor skills must develop? What is an efference copy?

Articles/links:

What Is Motor Development? The Lessons of History

Infancy and Human Growth

Effects of visual deprivation on morphology and physiology of cells in the cat's lateral geniculate body

Extent of recovery from the effects of visual deprivation in kittens

Movement-produced stimulation in the development of visually guided behavior

Organization of Early Skilled Action

October 11, 2016 37D - Sciencing My Way Through Ultrarunning: Intro
Thinking aloud about some sports science issues as I prepare for my first 50K ultra. What is the optimal focus of attention for a runner and how does it change as you switch from road to trail? How can one best acquire the skill of downhill running? Does it depend on where you look?
