Research backdrop… Visuomotor Skills: • LEARN • REFINE (master) • PERFORM (under pressure)
Visual control- The Quiet Eye • Experts seem to know where and when to look... • The duration of the final fixation prior to movement is critical...! • Named the Quiet Eye • (QE; Vickers, 1996) • Longer QE for experts and successful shots. • Shorter QE when anxious.
Can we train the QE? • (rather than the movement) • LEARN • REFINE • PERFORM
Train to adopt expert QE: • Different sports. • Novice and elite. • QE trained vs. Control. • Training phase. • Testing phase: • Retention (learning) • Pressure (anxiety)
