Together with Christopher Meier from the Sports and Education group here in Bielefeld, I’ve been working on the use of analogies in children. In his PhD project, he focused on the question how analogies influence motor learning, especially in skilled athletes (see here).
Looking at both their performance and their representation structures in motor memory, we recently published a study on the impact of analogy and explicit verbal instructions in junior tennis players (see here).

Imagery in physical education
How can we use imagery for physical education such that it adds to motor learning, and such that it can be implemented straightforward in a physical education class?

AOMI meets VR
Currently, we’re investigating new types of AOMI training in Virtual Reality. Data collection is ongoing and we hope to present our data at next year’s FEPSAC conference in Münster, Germany. More soon.
Motor imagery during action observation
Combining action observation with motor imagery, in brief doing AOMI, meaning to imagine a motor action whilst observing it, is currently a highly researched topic to which we’ve contributed just recently. Continue reading “Motor imagery during action observation”
