Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of enhancing perceptual information by using broadband sound to facilitate one-handed catching. Enhancing environmental information affects the perception-action coupling cycle (Newell, 1991), thus improving catching success and allowing greater flexibility of movement. Employing broadband sound in a ball provides bimodal stimuli that are spatially co-incidental and therefore enhancing sensory information (Stein, Meredith, Huneycutt, and Mcdade 1989). Twenty-two adults (M age 24) volunteered for the study, using 3D kinematic analyses all participants were examined performing 30 one handed catches across three testing blocks.    Analyses showed that enhancing auditory information with broadband noise resulted in a greater affordance for action.  Data showed that by augmenting perceptual information, less time was required for the deceleration phase of the catch.  Through analyses of the intralimb correlation, an indication of the presence of coordinative structures, it was found that participants with enhanced auditory information were able to ‘play' with their movement patterns in order to achieve the task goal.
