| Abstract: |
Pursuit and interception of moving targets are fundamental skills of many animal species. Although previous studies in human interception behaviors have proposed several navigational strategies for intercepting a moving target, it is still unknown which navigational strategy humans use in chase-and-escape interactions. In the present experimental study, by using two one-on-one tasks as seen in ball sports, we showed that human interception behaviors were statistically consistent with a time-optimal model. Our results provide the insight about the navigational strategy for intercepting a moving target in chase-and-escape interactions, which may be common across species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
