No literature exists to document skill-related differences in shotgun shooting and whether these may be a function of eye movements control gun motion. We therefore conducted an exploratory investigation the visual search behaviors barrel kinematics used by elite subelite shooters across three subdisciplines.Point gaze were recorded groups (n = 24) participating skeet, trap, double trap events. Point was calculated relation scene, while motion captured two stationary external cameras. Quiet...

We tested the predictions of Attentional Control Theory (ACT) by examining effect anxiety on attention control and subsequent influence both performance effectiveness efficiency within a perceptual-motor context.A sample (N = 16) elite shotgun shooters was under counterbalanced low (practice) high (competition) conditions.A head-mounted, corneal reflection system allowed point gaze to be calculated in relation scene, while motion gun evaluated using markers placed barrel which were captured...

Several researchers have reported the importance of maintaining a longer final fixation on target (termed quiet eye period, QE) before performing an aiming task. We present innovative, perceptual training intervention intended to improve efficiency gaze behavior (i.e., in shotgun shooting.A sample 20 international-level skeet shooters were assigned equally one two ability-matched groups based their pretest shooting scores. A group participated four-step preshot routine alongside three video...

The concept of shared motor representations between action execution and various covert conditions has been demonstrated through a number psychophysiological modalities over the past two decades. Rarely, however, have researchers considered congruence physical, imaginary observed movement markers in single paradigm never design where eye metrics are markers. In this study, participants were required to perform forward reach point Fitts' Task on digitizing tablet whilst wearing an system....

There is contradictory evidence surrounding the role of critical cues in successful anticipation penalty kicks soccer. In current study, skilled and less-skilled soccer goalkeepers were required to anticipate when viewing that both spatially (full body; hip region) temporally (-160 ms, -80 ms before, foot-ball contact) occluded. The group outperformed all conditions. Participants performed better full body condition compared region condition. Performance only was significantly than chance...

Introduction: Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is a common and complex procedure with low first-attempt success rates, causing patient suffering increased healthcare costs. Quiet Eye (QE) training, gaze-focused approach, has shown promise in improving procedural PIVC skills. We will examine the effectiveness of traditional technical training (TT) QE (QET) on student nurse performance. Methods: Forty-four participants be randomly assigned to either TT or QET groups using blocked...

Introduction Contextual interference (CI) effect predicts that a random order of practice for multiple skills is superior learning compared to blocked order. We report novel attempt examine the CI during acquisition and transfer anticipatory judgments from simulation training an applied sport situation. Method Participants were required anticipate tennis shots under either schedule or schedule. Response accuracy was recorded both groups in pretest, acquisition, on 7-d retention test....

We examined the effects of high- versus low-anxiety conditions during video-based training anticipation judgments using international-level badminton players facing serves and transfer to high-anxiety field-based conditions. Players were assigned a (HA), (LA) or control group (CON) in pretraining–posttest design. In pre- posttest, anticipated from video on court under pretest, response accuracy was lower final fixations shorter when compared with pretest. HA LA demonstrated greater longer...

An occlusion protocol was used to elucidate the respective roles of preprograming and online control during quiet eye period golf putting. Twenty-one novice golfers completed putts 6-ft 11-ft targets under full vision or with occluded on initiation backswing. Radial error (RE) higher, longer, when putting versus target, in condition. Quiet durations, as well preprograming, dwell were longer low-RE compared high-RE trials. The component significantly condition, whereas components These...

The 'quiet eye' (QE)-a period of extended gaze fixation on a target-has been reported in many tasks that require accurate aiming. Longer quiet eye durations (QEDs) are experts compared to non-experts and successful versus less trials. QE has extensively studied the field; however, cognitive mechanisms underlying not yet fully understood. We investigated QEDs ten expert novice archers field laboratory using computer-based archery task. computer task consisted shooting targets joystick. Random...

We investigated three areas of uncertainty about the role vision in basketball shooting, timing fixations (early, late), location (hoop centre, non-centre) and effect defender on performance. also sought to overcome a limitation past quiet eye studies that reported only one (QE) period prior phase action. Elite players received pass took three-point shots undefended defended conditions. Five sequential QE periods were analyzed initiated each shooting action: catch, arm preparation, flexion,...

Background It is well documented that adaptations in cognitive processes with increasing skill levels support decision making multiple domains. We examined skill-based differences emergency medicine physicians, and whether performance was significantly influenced by the removal of contextual information related to a patient's medical history. Method Skilled (n=9) less skilled physicians responded high-fidelity simulated scenarios under high- low-context conditions. Results demonstrated...

The activities soccer players engage in during their formative years are thought to significantly contribute the acquisition of expert performance. Whilst this area has seen great interest male players, there been little research females. study examined developmental engaged by professional female England. 56 that had either progressed status adulthood (professional), or did not (ex-academy), completed Participant History Questionnaire. Professional started engaging at an earlier age than...
