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).”
Perceptual Training in Soccer: An Imagery Intervention Study with Elite Players (2005, background): “However, some cognitively founded studies have shown promising results (see reviews in Williams & Grant, 1999; Williams & Ward, 2003).”
ANALYSIS OF THE SETTER'S TACTICAL ACTION IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL (2010, background): “At this level, notational or match analysis emerges as a tool to understand the context of tactical action in team sports settings (Williams & Ward, 2003).”
Constraints on the search for visual information in sport (2004, background): “As noted earlier in this review, there is considerable evidence to indicate that the performer’s level of skill influences the search for information, and this literature is well documented elsewhere (e.g., see Starkes, Helsen, & Jack, 2001; Williams et al., 1999; Williams & Ward, 2003).”
Testing and Training Anticipation Skills in Softball Fielders (2007, background): “[21] A measure of transfer is essential to determine whether the improvements observed in the laboratory setting actually transfer back to the game situation.”
Perceptual-cognitive expertise in sport and its acquisition: implications for applied cognitive psychology (2011, background): “…a need for more systematic and cohesive programmes of research to fully examine the practical utility of such interventions (for detailed reviews, see Ward, Williams, &Hancock, 2006;Ward, Farrow, Harris, Williams, Eccles, & Ericsson, 2008; Ward, Suss, & Basevitch, 2009; Williams & Ward, 2003).”
Transfer of pattern recall skills may contribute to the development of sport expertise (2005, background): “…while suggesting promising new avenues for the facilitated acquisition of the perceptual skills that distinguish the expert (Abernethy, Wood, & Parks, 1999; Williams & Ward, 2003), has not typically included training materials from outside the specific sport/domain within which expertise is sought.”
Deliberate practice and the modifiability of body and mind: Toward a science of the structure and acquisition of expert and elite performance. (2007, methodology): “…representations that allow performers to be prepared for execution of appropriate actions rather than better basic acuity of their sensory perceptual systems and/or faster basic speed of their motor systems (for reviews see Abernethy, 1991, Starkes & Deakin, 1984, and Williams & Ward, 2003).”
An ecological approach to expertise effects in decision-making in a simulated sailing regatta (2005, background): “For example, by manipulating the information on which the learner is relying, coaches can direct the learner’s search toward the sources that could facilitate higher achievement (see Williams and Ward, 2003).”
Training Perceptual Skill by Orienting Visual Attention (2006, background): “Perceptual training programs have been developed and applied frequently in racket-and-ball games such as tennis (Abernethy, Wann, & Parks, 1998; Williams & Grant, 1999; Williams & Ward, 2003; Williams, Ward, & Smeeton, 2004).”
Training Perceptual-Cognitive Skills: Can Sport Psychology Research Inform Military Decision Training? (2008, methodology): “This research has laid the foundation for an evidence-based practice approach to training (see Williams & Ward, 2001, 2003).”
