- Anticipation vs. Reaction Time
- the timing of an overall response relative to some stimulus

- Three types:
- receptor anticipation
previewing the forthcoming stimuli
example:
- perceptual anticipation
learn to predict based on past experience
example:
- effector anticipation
detecting how long one's own movements will take
example:
- Assessing Anticipation
- Absolute Error
Define:
- Constant Error
Define:
- Factors affecting A.T. ability
- Predictability of the stimulus
- spatially
explain:
- temporally
explain:
- must weigh benefits versus costs
- Complexity of the response
- Amount of Practice
- Age of Performer
- improvement with age (from child to adult)
- children unable to process information as fast
child's movement guaidance process is not fully developed
