364 – Article Review: The Role of Movement Variability in Movement Accuracy Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

How do skilled performers achieve both speed and accuracy? Is it by reducing variability in movement parameters (i.e., repeatability)? Or is by allowing movement parameters to co-vary and compensate for each other (i.e., motor synergies)?

362 – Smart Perceptual Mechanisms & Training an Athlete to "See Through the Matrix" Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

What is a "smart" perceptual mechanism? How does it differ from the rote mechanisms used in information processing theory, where simple features are used for computation and processing? Are we missing opportunities to train the development of these smart perceptual mechanism in sports, forcing an athlete to see in terms of simple variables and categories, when we could be training them to pick up complex information and see directly through the matrix?

On the possibility of "smart" perceptual mechanisms

361 – Self Organization & Self-Regulation in Skill Acquisition: Clarifying Some Confusions Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

What is the role of the "self" in self organization? How does its pre-loaded conception lead to some misunderstanding about self-organization and misapplication of methods designed to promote it, like the CLA? How does it relate to self-regulation in skill acquisition? An attempt at some clarification.
