Visual Occlusion Factors in a Discrete Ball-Catching Task

Journal of Motor Behavior (1974)

H. T. A. Whiting R.H. Sharp

Male university students (N=44) attempted to catch lawn-tennis balls delivered by a mechanical projection machine. The ball was always projected in the dark and caught in the dark but was illuminated for a constant, brief interval during its flight by a fluorescent tube. The portion of flight illuminated was varied by manipulating systematically the interval between light offset and ball-hand contact. This variable served as the single factor in a within-Ss design. ANOVA showed that catching success was reliably dependent upon this variable and related to it by an inverted 'U' function. Results were discussed in terms of prediction ability and a possible limitation in information processing time.

Frameworks on shifting sands

Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1995)

R. lngvaldsen H. T. A. Whiting

Abstract Feldman and Levin present a model for movement control in which the system is said to seek equilibrium points, active movement being produced by shifting frames of reference in space. It is argued that whatever merit this model might have is limited to an understanding of “the how” and not “the why” we move. In this way the authors seem to be forced into a dualistic position leaving the upper level of the proposed control hierarchy “floating.”

Hoist by their own petard: The constraints of hierarchical models

Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1998)

Beatrix Vereijken H. T. A. Whiting

In the context of the motor skill literature on observational learning and hierarchical skill structuring, Byrne & Russon's findings call into question their standpoint that great apes imitate the behaviour of role models at the programme level. The authors impose a hierarchical model on their observations without properly considering alternative explanations. One such possibility, which stems from a constraints perspective that they dismiss, is put forward.

Prediction of Linear Motion

Human Factors The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (1974)

G. J. K. Alderson H. T. A. Whiting

The paper briefly discusses the perception of velocity and prediction of motion as processes involved in the performance of fast-ball game skills. Two experiments utilizing a motion-prediction paradigm, in which the subject was allowed to view a moving tennis ball cross the display and disappear from view, are reported. The subject was required to estimate when the ball would reach a target set on the extended motion track. The experiments examined the effects of viewing distance, prediction distance, and stimulus velocity upon the accuracy and variability of performance. The first experiment found that both prediction distance and stimulus velocity were significant variables, their additive effects showing a linear relationship between prediction time and both constant and variable errors. The second experiment demonstrated that these linear relationships were replicable phenomena and that motion prediction became more accurate when subjects were given knowledge of results and allowed to practice the task.

The Effects of Personality and Ability on Speed of Decisions Regarding the Directional Aspects of Ball Flight

Journal of Motor Behavior (1972)

H. T. A. Whiting J.W.R. Hutt

A choice reaction time test (CRT) and a task which involved judging the directional aspects of bail flight (BFT) were administered to 3 groups defined as high ability table tennis players (N = 13), average ability table tennis players (N = 18), and non-games players (N = 15). An analysis of the results of the BFT task in terms of personality (Eysenck's extraversion/introversion and neuroticism dimensions) failed to show any significant differences although significant differences were found between the ability groups in both the CRT and BFT tasks. The relationship between Ss' times for the 2 tasks was significant for the non-games players and average ability table tennis players but not for the high ability table tennis players. Possible explanations for this latter result are suggested.
