The Perception & Action Podcast

Exploration of how psychological research can be applied to improving performance, accelerating skill acquisition and designing new technologies in sports and other high performance domains. Hosted by Rob Gray, professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, the podcast will review basic concepts and discuss the latest research in these areas.

359 – Habit vs Skill II: Being Fast and Adaptable Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

Conscious control seems to be far too slow to account for skilled performance in sports while using automatic habits seems not to be smart enough to allow for adaptation to the ever-changing constraints an athlete faces. How can we be both adaptable and fast? Does adaptability require mental representation?

357 - Article Review: Does the structure and amount of variability in practice matter? Jun 29, 2021

356 – Article Review: How do Changes in Informational Constraints Influence Movement Variability? Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

How do changes in the perceptual information available alter movement variability? If we constrain vision with occluding glasses or constrain audition with headphones how do performers adapt their movements? How does this depend on skill level?

355 – Article Review: How Does Movement Coordination Change with Increased Effort? Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

How does the constraint of effort (for example, throwing at 80% of your max vs 100%) change the coordination of degrees of freedom in movement? Do movements become mostly invariant across individuals at max effort or is there still a role for variability?

354 – Article Review: Does Practice Representativeness Effect Perceptual-Motor Calibration? Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Does the representativeness of a practice task effect perceptual-motor calibration? For example, is the calibration of decision making and gaze behavior more effective when hitting off a pitcher vs a tee in baseball?

351 – Perceptual-Motor Styles May 11, 2021

Show notes

Why do many individuals have a distinctive manner of performing a motor action (aka a perceptual-motor style)? How can we determine whether a particular style is functional? How do styles change with development, sports training and through rehabilitation?
