Dr. Erickson will provide detailed descriptions, rationale and research results to support assessment of specific vision performance skills in athletes. An overview of the instruments and programs, including recently developed digital technologies, will be highlighted. This lecture will allow attendees to understand the visual task analysis approach for development of a sport-specific visual performance evaluation as well as understand rationale and options for assessment of specific visual performance factors. Dr. Erickson will also review recent digital assessment options that provide performance comparisons to a database of athletes.
You'll also be able to join us in the interactive exhibit hall for real live athlete screenings!
