ABSTRACT
Gaze changes and the resultant fixations that orchestrate the sequential acquisition of information from the visual environment are central features of the human visual system. Gaze training sits within a larger umbrella term, feed forward eye movement training, which has been applied successfully to cognitive tasks. The most studied far aiming task in the gaze training literature is the golf putt. It is possible that gaze training, by directing gaze via visualisation of an expert model, limits the accrual of explicit knowledge about the rules governing task performance. A gaze training intervention for motor skills is typically carried out in two main steps. First, it is necessary to determine the specific gaze characteristics of experts as they perform the motor skill of interest, and identify how these differ from those of non-expert performers. Second, novice performers are then taught to follow this 'expert model' while they perform training repetitions of the to-be-learned task.
