Download or read book Macrocognition The Science and Engineering of Sociotechnical Work Systems written by Paul Ward and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing complexity of work systems and changes in the nature of workplace technology over the past century have resulted in an exponential shift in the nature of work activities, from physical labor to cognitive work. Modern work systems have many characteristics that make them cognitively complex: They can be highly interactive; comprised of multiple agents and artifacts; information may be limited and distributed across space and time; task goals are frequently ill-defined, conflicting, dynamic and emergent; planning may only be possible at general levels of abstraction or require adaptive solutions; some degree of proficiency or expertise is required; the stakes are often high; and uncertainty, time-constraints and stress are seldom absent. To complicate matters further, cognition in complex work settings is typically constrained by broader professional, organizational, and institutional practice and policy. These features of cognitive work present significant challenges to scientific methodology and theory, and subsequent design of reliable interventions. Historically, philosophers and scientists have attempted to understand the mental activities experienced during cognitive work at multiple levels of analysis using divergent methods. Some have examined cognition at an associative, contextual, functional or holistic level, relying on naturalistic methods to understand the higher mental processes as they work in harmony during goal-directed behavior. Others have embraced experimental methods and favored internal over external validity, often reducing cognition to a psychology of fundamental acts, such as short-term memory access with millisecond shifts in attention. More recently, Macrocognition has evolved as a complementary paradigm. Macrocognitive researchers have studied the cognitive functions and processes associated with skilled, adaptive, collaborative, and resilient cognitive work in the context of the aforementioned complexities of psychotechnical and sociotechnical work systems. Typically, this research has been carried out using cognitive task analytic techniques that draw on both naturalistic and (quasi-)experimental methods. The primary goals of research in Macrocognition are to better understand cognitive adaptations to complexity, to increase our theoretical understanding of the organism-environment relations by studying the mapping between cognitive work and real-world demands, and to promote use-inspired research capable of improving system performance.
Download or read book Pilot Study of Improving the Performance of Collegiate Baseball Players Through the Use of Visual Learning Techniques written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College baseball is a highly competitive sport. Schools have to win in order to gain the attention of the top prospects. For a team to be successful, players have to excel in every part of the game. The pitchers must not allow runs to score, and hitters must score runs. However, hitting is one of the hardest skills in all of sports. Nomar Garciapara says a batter is trying to hit a round ball with a round bat, square (ESPN broadcast). The purpose of this pilot study was to compare the mechanics and performances of college baseball players before the use of video analysis and after video analysis. Through this comparison, the data collected was used to judge if the mechanics and performances of these eleven players improved.
Download or read book Controversies in Exercise Science written by Thomas Rowland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversies in Exercise Science introduces a series of selected unresolved issues in the field of human exercise science. The common thread to all of these topics is that, in their ultimate resolution, they offer promise of insights into the essential principles of physiological systems and how these respond to the stresses of exercise. Each case study includes an examination of research surrounding each issue; the innovative aspect, however, will be that each of these controversies will be presented in the context of an historical and/or philosophical perspective. These chapter include topics related to basic exercise physiology, sports, physical activity, and exercise health. Underlying each of these debates lie clues which may offer insights into the basic nature of living beings. Aimed at both academics and practitioners in the fields of exercise science, biology, and related sports science disciplines, Controversies in Exercise Science provides arguments for both sides of several selected contemporary controversies in the field of exercise science and, while no ultimate resolution will be provided, the goal is, rather, to offer the reader sufficient "raw material" on which he or she might make their own judgement on the matters presented.

Download or read book The Effect of Right View Pro on Bat Velocity and Batted ball Exit Velocity in College Baseball Players written by Dan McKinney and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of Right View Pro© Video Analysis on bat speed and batted-ball exit velocity were evaluated in 29 male collegiate student-athletes. The 29 athletes were divided into three groups and evaluated on both dependent variables (bat speed and batted-ball exit velocity). Group A participated in weight training only, Group B participated in weight training and video analysis, and Group C participated in weight training, video analysis, and Right View Pro© video analysis. The Pocket Radar© was used to measure bat speed of each individual, while the Stalker Radar Sport 2 Radar Gun© was used to measure the speed of the batted-ball exit velocity. On the initial day of testing (September 3rd, 2013), participants completed their baseline bat speed and batted-ball exit velocity. After two semesters of the academic year (until May 6th, 2014), participants completed their post-test on bat speed and batted-ball exit velocity. A one way analysis of variance with post-hoc Tukey was used to analyze the data. The analysis of variance showed no significant difference between the three groups, p=0.18. The batted-ball exit velocity was significantly different (p=0.02), between Group A and Group B only. The Tukey post hoc criteria for significance indicated that a significant difference existed between Group A (Weight Training only) and Group B (Weight Training and Video Analysis), HSD (0.5) =5.44; HSD (.01) =6.97; and M1 vs. M2 P
