I spy with my QE - 3.2

Question 1

what is the QE doing?

Answer 1

1. Visuomotor control / self-organisation - coordination disorders
2. External focus (cf Wulf work) - outcome
3. Fewer attentional resources required
   – focus on one thing [gaze] not many [controlling
   movement effectors, outcome etc…]
4. Attentional control (avoid distractions) - filter out negative thoughts - focus on process - less psychological effects
5. Psychological control (on process not outcome)
6. General quiescence of psychomotor system (self-regulation)

Question 2

1. novices: skill acquisiiton

Answer 2

QE trained - skill learn faster and maintained

understand why people break down under pressure

seems to work for most people

Question 3

QE training expedites motor learning and aids performance under pressure under heightened anxiety: roles of response programming and external attention

Answer 3

3d kinematics, cardiac activity (EEG), muscular activity (EMG), gaze behaviour

given technical instructions

given QE instructions - don’t give any technical information - shows how effective QE training is

Question 4

interaction effects - kinematics

Answer 4

smoother profile - more in QE and maintained

Question 5

interaction effects - performance

Answer 5

maintained

Question 6

cardiac deceleration

Answer 6

even under pressure

maintain focus

not getting especially stressed

general calming

Question 7

interactions effects - QE

Answer 7

did improve in control too - more proficient = longer QE period anyway

Question 8

EMG - extensor carpi radialis

Answer 8

muscle activity lower in QE = more movement efficiency - contract fewer muscles - amount of contraction reduced

Question 9

Wilson, Vine and Bright (2011)

Answer 9

Gaze: Eye movements

Motor: Tool movements

Discovery: No feedback

QE best

instructions on movement = performance worse

Question 10

already trained performers?

Answer 10

We know that experts have longer QE anyway

Is there any benefit in training?
– Skill refinement?
– Dealing with pressure?

Question 11

Vine, Moore and Wilson (2011)

Answer 11

2 groups of 11 golfers (mean handicap 2.7, SD = 2.2)

1. Putting stats for 10 rounds
   – Number of putts; Success rate from 6-10 feet; Likert score (1-10)
2. Lab training session: Gaze feedback
3. Putting stats for 10 rounds
4. Lab Test: Retention, Pressure

Question 12

results: lab

Answer 12

maintained better QE performance with training

Question 13

results: on course putting

Answer 13

(need to know if it works out in the field)

more successful putts

1.9 less shots per round

195th-28th

Question 14

improving children’s motor ability

Answer 14

the waterloo foundation - self-select out of sport - issues with self-esteem, obesity, diabetes etc.

diagrams in notes

Question 15

Miles, Wood, Vine, Vickers and Wilson (2015)

Answer 15

30, 8-10 year old children with DCD – Recruited from Dyspraxia UK

Measured
– Performance
– Gaze (QE1: pre-throw, QE2: pre-catch) – Elbow angle

Question 16

QE measures

Answer 16

Children with DCD can learn better attentional control

Question 17

Performance

Answer 17

QET crafted changes in technique that were not apparent in outcome

BUT didn’t have very long to train
