- Perception Action Loop
- Sports and skill acquisition. A tennis player's perception of the ball is constituted by the racket being swung; goalkeepers read shots through the postural cues of strikers; hitters predict the pitch before it arrives.
This sourceSkilled players read advance postural (kinematic) cues to anticipate ball flight before arrival — perception constituted by, and tuned to, action.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract documents earlier anticipation of tennis stroke direction by skilled players via visual search, but says nothing about perception being constituted by the racket, about goalkeepers, or about baseball hitters.
“The 8 skilled players (mean age 23 yrs) were faster than their 8 less skilled counterparts (mean age 27.2 yrs) in anticipating the direction of opponents' tennis strokes, with this superior performance being based, at least in part, on more effective visual search behaviors.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
