Expertise differences in cortical activation and gaze behavior during rifle shooting

Article Abstract:

This study investigated differences in gaze behavior and cortical activity between expert and nonexpert small-bore rifle shooters. Results indicate that expert shooters exhibit superior performance, longer quiet eye periods, and increased hemispheric asymmetry in the preparatory phase preceding the trigger pull when compared to nonexperts.

Anxiety and performance: a visual search examination of the processing efficiency theory

Article Abstract:

The central beliefs of the Processing Efficiency Theory (PET) in the context of a dual - task auto racing simulation are examined. The study confirms that increase in cognitive anxiety ensure a reduction of processing efficiency, with little change in performance effectiveness.

Cortico-cortical communication and superior performance in skilled marksmen: an EEG coherence analysis

Article Abstract:

During a 4-s aiming period before trigger pull, electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence was evaluated between expert expert shooters and skilled shooters over the course of a regulation round of small-bore rifle shooting. The results revealed that although both groups were experienced the experts engaged in less cortico-cortical communication than the lesser skilled shooters.
