Abstract
An operational analysis was carried out on a continuous ball throwing and catching task during the course of ten practice sessions composed of five one-minute trials with one-minute interpolated rest intervals. Subjects were ten male students (18-21 years) with varying degrees of sophistication in ball games. Group analysis showed a decrease in the amount of time the ball was watched while it was in flight as sessions proceeded. This result was paralleled by an increase in the amount of time before the ball reached the hand that the eyes transferred from ball to target. Results for the amount of time the ball was held from session to session were shown to fit an exponential model. Attention is drawn both to overall variance and individual differences within the composite model. Suggestions are made for further developments.
