VISUAL STIMULI FOR IMPROVING PERCEPTUAL-COGNITIVE SKILLS IN SPORT ACTIVITIES: THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT

Sonja Čotar, Antonio Ascione, Davide Di Palma, Valeria Agosti

Abstract


The purpose of this article is to analyze the possible contribution of visual training systems in learning perceptual-cognitive skills. Starting from a serious consideration on executive functions, a deep analysis of scientific literature guided us up to Transfer of Training concept, i.e. to understand that visual stimuli could create new learning fields so that what is learning during the training could be transferred to competition.
