ABSTRACT
Mobile technologies aimed at improving perceptual-cognitive skills align on a continuum of dimensions: specificity, from general to domain specific, and functionality, from higher to lower - order skills. Training protocols aimed at improving perceptual-cognitive skills have used both eye tracking and video-based technologies to measure and improve these skills. Anticipation training has been examined in handball, particularly players’ ability to predict attacking shots on goal. The company suggests that training on the application improves pattern recognition, anticipation, and decision-making skills, and suggests training twice a week, 15–30 minutes per session, with improvements seen after around 20 sessions. The main concern with mobile training technologies is the transferability to domain-specific, representative, and real-world tasks. Finally, move the field forward, and continue advancing mobile training technology, stronger collaborations among researchers, practitioners, and technology companies is required.
