Perceptual-Cognitive Training of Athletes
@article{Faubert2012PerceptualCognitiveTO, title={Perceptual-Cognitive Training of Athletes}, author={Jocelyn Faubert and Leanna Sidebottom}, journal={Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology}, year={2012}, volume={6}, pages={85-102} }
This present article discusses an approach to training high-level athletes’ perceptual-cognitive skills. The intention herein is to (a) introduce concepts in regard to what may be required by athletes to optimally process sports-related visual scenes at the perceptual-cognitive level; (b) present an experimental method of how it may be possible to train this capacity in athletes while discussing the necessary features for a successful perceptual-cognitive training outcome; and (c) propose that…
