Main Focus
The ability to optimally perform visual motor skills in high-pressure situations is a desirable characteristic across many different domains. I investigate the influence of anxiety and performance pressure on movement kinematics and visual attention. During the course of my PhD, I have examined this topic in a variety of tasks and domains, including manual-aiming, sport and aviation.
Project title: Investigating the effects of anxiety and workload on visual attention and movement kinematics in a simulated flight task
