Defining elite athletes: Issues in the study of expert performance in sport psychology (2015, background): “…such chess (see Chase& Simon,1973; de Groot, 1965), more recent research (since the mid-1990s) has explored expert-novice differences in largely perceptual-motor domains such as dance (Bl€asing et al., 2012) and sport (e.g., Müller, Abernethy, Eid, McBean, & Rose, 2010; Williams & Ford, 2008).”
From processing efficiency to attentional control: a mechanistic account of the anxiety–performance relationship (2008, methodology): “A number of methods for assessing processing efficiency, including assessment of subjective effort, psychophysiological measures, secondary task paradigms and assessment of processing time have been adopted in the sport anxiety domain.”
Quiet Eye Training: Effects on Learning and Performance Under Pressure (2010, background): “Current research adopting gaze-tracking technology shows that when a high level of motor skill performance is attained, gaze is directed to the most important targets and objects in the visual-performance workspace (e.g., Vickers, 2007; Williams & Ford, 2008).”
Pay attention! A review of visual attentional expertise in sport (2009, background): “…past 20 years dealing with athletes’ fundamental visual perception has examined basic visual perceptual abilities (e.g., visual acuity, color vision, and depth perception) between sports experts and novices (for an overview, see Williams & Ford, 2008; Williams & Grant, 1999; Williams & Ward, 2003).”
Talent development in sport: A critical review of pathways to expert performance (2016, background): “Furthermore, empirical studies have demonstrated some inconsistencies in the criteria used to define key variables in the athlete development literature, namely the definitions of type of practice and expert athlete.(4,9,18,25) The difficulty researchers have faced in attempting to find sport-relate”
Perceptual-cognitive expertise in sport and its acquisition: implications for applied cognitive psychology (2011, background): “…with an interest in sport have analysed the perceptual-cognitive skills underpinning anticipation in this domain and identified how these processes are acquired through prolonged engagement in practice (for reviews, see Hodges, Huys, & Starkes, 2007; Williams & Ford, 2008; Williams & Ward, 2007).”
