Hey all,
There's a very interesting article on "choking" in this month's
Journal of Experimental Psychology using golfers' putting as the
performance measure. The article introduction does an excellent job
explaining the various theoretical underpinnings of choking
(performing poorly in specific situations when the consequences of
performance, especially poor performance, are of greater than normal
value). Seems like lots of great research ideas in the article...
