Integrating seeing-for-movement and seeing-for-thought in elite action
David L. Mann, Wayne WuAbstract
Elite athletes perform visually guided actions under severe temporal constraints. Reconsidering conscious versus unconscious vision, we present evidence from elite athletes that challenges the conceptualization of unconscious action guidance and propose instead distinguishing seeing-for-movement and seeing-for-thought. Elite athletes appear to use both in a coordinated manner when performing visually guided actions.
