    Do the classic motor learning effects (eg focus of attention, choice) apply to experts?

    Do the classic motor learning effects (eg focus of attention, choice) apply to experts?

    A look at a recent study that addresses a question I get quite often: do the basic principles of motor learning, in this case, those proposed by OPTIMAL theory, still hold when we are dealing with highly skilled athletes? Articles:

    Functional Variability in the Cricket Bowling Delivery

    Functional Variability in the Cricket Bowling Delivery

    A look at a recent study that provides evidence that cricket bowlers use movement variability (as opposed to repeatability) to regulate the timing and speed of their delivery. And looking back at a classic in ecological dynamics – the first study to show this effect. Articles:
