The ecological dynamics of decision making in sport
- D. Araújo, K. Davids, R. Hristovski
- Psychology
- 1 November 2006
Abstract Objectives The aim of this position paper is to consider the decision-making process as an integral part of goal-directed behaviour influenced by functional constraints at the scale of the… Expand
Nonlinear pedagogy: Learning design for self-organizing neurobiological systems
- J. Chow, K. Davids, R. Hristovski, D. Araújo, P. Passos
- Psychology
- 1 August 2011
In this paper, key concepts in ecological psychology and nonlinear dynamics exemplify how learning design can be shaped by ideas of self-organization, meta-stability and self-organized criticality in… Expand

Constraints-induced emergence of functional novelty in complex neurobiological systems: a basis for creativity in sport.
- R. Hristovski, K. Davids, D. Araújo, P. Passos
- Psychology, Medicine
- Nonlinear dynamics, psychology, and life sciences
- 1 April 2011
In this paper we present a model of creativity captured as exploration and production of novel and functionally efficient behaviors, based on the statistical mechanics of disordered systems. In… Expand
Ecological dynamics and motor learning design in sport
- K. Davids, D. Araújo, R. Hristovski, P. Passos, J. Chow
- Psychology
- 2012
We outline an ecological dynamics approach to motor learning that identifies the learner–environment relationship as the basis for learning design in sport. The
relevant scale of analysis for… Expand

Emergence of Exploratory, Technical and Tactical Behavior in Small-Sided Soccer Games when Manipulating the Number of Teammates and Opponents
- C. Torrents, A. Ric, R. Hristovski, Lorena Torres-Ronda, E. Vicente, J. Sampaio
- Psychology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 22 December 2016
The effects that different constraints have on the exploratory behavior, measured by the variety and quantity of different responses within a game situation, is of the utmost importance for… Expand

How boxers decide to punch a target: emergent behaviour in nonlinear dynamical movement systems.
- R. Hristovski, K. Davids, D. Araújo, C. Button
- Medicine, Engineering
- Journal of sports science & medicine
- 1 July 2006
Previous research has shown how dynamical systems theory provides a relevant framework for investigating decision-making behavior in sport. The aim of this study was to adopt concepts and tools from… Expand
Ecological cognition: expert decision-making behaviour in sport
- D. Araújo, R. Hristovski, L. Seifert, J. Carvalho, K. Davids
- Psychology
- 9 July 2017
ABSTRACT Expert decision-making can be directly assessed, if sport action is understood as an expression of embedded and embodied cognition. Here, we discuss evidence for this claim, starting with a… Expand
