Description: "Visual Perception and Action in Sport examines the information which is perceived by the human visual system and the way it is utilised to support actions in sport."--BOOK JACKET. "The book is divided into three sections: an overview of the dominant traditional model of perception and action (the information processing approach) followed by an exploration of the processes which underpin perception and action; an alternative to the traditional model and examination of the prevailing theoretical frameworks within the ecological approach; and consolidation of the most recent theories of skill acquisition of relevance to the study of perception and action in sport and analysis of their implications for practice."--Jacket.
