Visuomotor Skills:
• LEARN• REFINE (master)• PERFORM (under pressure)
1
Visual control- The Quiet Eye
• Experts seem to know where and when to look...
• The duration of the final fixation prior to movement is critical...!
• Named the Quiet Eye(QE; Vickers, 1996)
- Longer QE for experts and successful shots.
- Shorter QE when anxious.

Can we train the QE?(rather than the movement)
• LEARN
• REFINE
• PERFORM
3
• Train to adopt expert QE:– Different sports.– Novice and elite.
• QE trained vs. Control.
• Training phase.
• Testing phase: – Retention (learning)– Pressure (anxiety)

Applications to Surgery...
• Laparoscopic surgery:- ‘Key hole’ surgery
• ...is challenging:- Elongated tools- 2D Image on screen
• ...and stressful:- Under pressure- Multi - tasking
