Autorenporträt
John Toner is a lecturer in sports coaching and performance science at the University of Hull (UK). He has published widely on the role conscious processes play in facilitating 'continuous improvement' among skilled performers. Recent work on this topic has been published in Body & Society, Review of Philosophy and Psychology and the Psychology of Sport and Exercise. Barbara Gail Montero is Professor of Philosophy at the City University of New York Graduate Center and the College of Staten Island. Her research focuses on two very different notions of 'body': body as the physical or material basis of the mind, and body as flesh and blood instrument that we use when we run, walk, or dance. She is the author of Thought in Action: Expertise and the Conscious Mind (OUP, 2016) and a former professional ballet dancer. Aidan Moran was Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Director of the Psychology Research Laboratory in University College Dublin. His research investigated the cognitive processes underlying expertise in fields like sport, surgery and music. He wrote/co-authored 21 Psychology books over the course of an extremely distinguished career.
