Biography

As a sport scientist, Kylie's research focuses on: the visual perception of biological motion in applied settings, observational learning based on modelling of self, and the cognitive and motor processes involved in movement and perceptual development.

Kylie's research concerns a number of areas including the perceptual and cognitive processes involved in visual biological motion perception in constrained environments (sport and the military).  The use of various technologies for the improvement of skilled performance in sport and rehabilitation settings, e.g., compression garments and video. Further, her research involves the development of skill-based talent identification methods and the application of implicit learning methods in movement settings.
