Does adding more variability to practice conditions aid the process
of education of attention? Can we predict the trajectory through
informational space that occurs during learning?
Can we predict sports injury by monitoring transition points
between attractors states of a complex system, or, in other words,
points of instability? A test using soccer
players.
Variability of practice helps motor learning. That is an undeniable
fact. But let’s consider some of the subtleties: what are the
different ways we can create variability in practice? How do the
benefits of variability depend on the initial variability of the
learner? Why exactly
does variability have its effect?...
Exploration of how psychology and sports science 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.
