TLDR
In this article, a ball-catching task in which the ball was caused to enter on a parabolic flight path by means of a mechanical apparatus was administered to 36 male students between the ages of 18 and 40 years.Abstract:
A ball-catching task in which the ball was caused to enter on a parabolic flight path by means of a mechanical apparatus was administered to 36 male students between the ages of 18 and 40 years. An electronic device enabled the ball to be illuminated for predetermined temporal intervals during its flight. Results indicated that in this relatively unpredictable task opportunity to watch the ball for longer periods of time resulted in increased catching success. Results are discussed in relation to previous experimental work in which the ball was on a more predictable trajectory (since output information was available) and are related to the perceptual moment hypothesis.read more

The Effect of Stroboscopic Vision Training on Eye-Hand Coordination
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether an acute SVT training period could improve the eye-hand coordination (EHC) performance on a practiced task for a group of sports participants, and found that SVT exposure using stroboscopic goggles significantly improved EHC performance.

Coincidence-anticipation apparatus for a gross motor task.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Coincidence-Anticipation Apparatus for a Gross Motor Task (CAT) for the task of estimating the probability of a motor stroke.

The relationship of target and response complexity in coincident timing performance.
TL;DR: Tentative support is provided for the notion that structure in the target path could be linked to the key temporal response dynamics for improved performance consistency, and that subjects may alter their response structure to incorporate this linkage.

Eye-hand coordination : an exploration of measurement and different training methods using the SVT
TL;DR: In this article, the sport vision trainer (SVT) was used to evaluate eye-hand coordination (EHC) performance in a table tennis game with a team of students at Edge Hill University.

The perception of causality
TL;DR: Michotte as mentioned in this paper used a partially concealed rotating disc to give the impression of objects in motion and where certain conditions of speed, position, and time-interval were satisfied, his subjects received the impression that one object has bumped into another or is carrying it along.

The fine structure of psychological time
TL;DR: This monograph is concerned with the relationships between what was called “psychological time” and the time of classical Newtonian physical theory and its experimental measurement, which has been known for over a century that there are some nontrivial differences.

Analysis of eye movements during free search.
TL;DR: The positive polarity of the human cornea was used to produce signals from marginal electrodes around the eyes which produced amplitude-time oscillographic tracings of the horizontal and vertical components of eyeball movement and which are used for an analysis of eye movements and fixations in a surveillance search task.
