Expert performers in striking sports can hit objects moving at high speed with incredible
precision. Exceptionally well developed anticipation skills are necessary to cope with the …

This paper reviews our understanding of the interception of moving objects. Interception is a
demanding task that requires both spatial and temporal precision. The required precision …

Background Inhibitory control, or the ability to suppress planned but inappropriate prepotent
actions in the current environment, plays an important role in the control of human …

The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between expertise in
movement correction and rate of movement reprogramming within limited time periods, and …

The characteristics of goal-directed actions tend to resemble those of previously executed
actions, but it is unclear whether such effects depend strictly on action history, or also reflect …

Control of interceptive actions may involve fine interplay between feedback-based and
predictive mechanisms. These processes rely heavily on target motion information available …

Two control schemes have been hypothesized for the manual interception of fast visual
targets. In the model-free on-line control, extrapolation of target motion is based on …

Key points• Unexpected loud auditory stimuli can trigger the involuntary release of motor
actions during preparation to move.• Because acoustic stimulation can suppress motor …

Manual interceptions are known to depend critically on integration of visual feedback
information and experience-based predictions of the interceptive event. Within this …

Perception of motion-in-depth is essential to guide and modify the hitting action in
interceptive-dominated sports (eg, tennis). The purpose of this research was to investigate …
