Decision training: the effects of complex instruction, variable practice and reduced delayed feedback on the acquisition and transfer of a motor skillJ N Vickers
Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
J Sports Sci 17:357-67. 1999..Novices in the behavioural training group were better than novices in the decision training group over both acquisition and transfer trials...- Mind over muscle: the role of gaze control, spatial cognition, and the quiet eye in motor expertiseJoan N Vickers
Neuro Motor Psychology Laboratory, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada
Cogn Process 12:219-22. 2011..With the attainment of motor expertise, measureable changes occur within the gaze, cognitive, and neural systems that are useful in training, rehabilitation, and the treatment of motor deficits... - Gaze pursuit and arm control of adolescent males diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and normal controls: evidence of a dissociation in processing visual information of short and long durationJoan N Vickers
Neuro Motor Psychology Laboratory, The University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
J Sports Sci 20:201-16. 2002..The results show that the ADHD groups were able to process short-duration information without experiencing adverse effects on their motor behaviour; however, long-duration information contributed to irregular movement control... - Performing under pressure: the effects of physiological arousal, cognitive anxiety, and gaze control in biathlonJoan N Vickers
Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, Canada
J Mot Behav 39:381-94. 2007..At the highest PO level, directing visual attention externally to critical task information appeared to insulate the athletes from choking under HP... - Visual control when aiming at a far targetJ N Vickers
Neuro Motor Psychology Laboratory, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 22:342-54. 1996..During the early phases of the aiming action, a fixation of long duration is needed on a specific target location. As the aiming action is then performed, vision appears to be a liability and is suppressed... - Temporal judgments, hemispheric equivalence, and interhemispheric transfer in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorderLenora N Brown
