Skill Acquisition
AIS Skill Acquisition staff help athletes acquire, develop and control their skills to perform better in their sport.
Skill acquisition specialists use their knowledge of how the brain handles information through the learning process - from conscious efforts to master a task to the point when decision making required to complete that task becomes automatic.
The Skill acquisition team applies this knowledge and conducts research to design training programs that give athletes a competitive edge.
This includes practical methods such as
-
Designing innovative practise approaches to aid athletes in fine tuning their skill preparation
- Assessing how athletes combine their sensory awareness and motor skills to perform in their sport
- Exploring the application of technological approaches to skill learning such as interactive visual stimulation
- Assisting coaches to apply the latest developments in applied learning research
