Abstract

Control of movement is central to successful sports performance. Laterality is a critical part of this movement control as players typically have a preference for relying on a dominant side. Tennis players may hold the racket primarily in their dominant hand, and soccer or football players may kick with their dominant foot. Laterality also comes into play in the direction to turn as in performing a spin in figure skating or which eye to use when aiming at a target. Laterality in sports summarizes research findings in this area from psychology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience. Coverage includes the origins and persistence of laterality in humans; measurement of laterality and its relevance in sports; the cognitive neuroscience of laterality; laterality's impact on talent identification, skill acquisition, and athlete development; performance differences between left- and right-sided athletes; laterality in individual and team sports; biomechanical aspects of laterality; and sports medicine perspectives on laterality. Chapters review current research and discuss the implications of these findings for sport practice.--

Abstract

The fundamental question of the ethics of belief is "What ought one to believe?" According to the traditional view of evidentialism, the strength of one's beliefs should be proportionate to the evidence. Conventional ways of defending and challenging evidentialism rely on the idea that what one ought to believe is a matter of what it is rational, prudent, ethical, or personally fulfilling to believe. Common to all these approaches is that they look outside of belief itself to determine what one ought to believe. In this book Jonathan Adler offers a strengthened version of evidentialism, arguing that the ethics of belief should be rooted in the concept of belief--that evidentialism is belief's own ethics. A key observation is that it is not merely that one ought not, but that one cannot, believe, for example, that the number of stars is even. The "cannot" represents a conceptual barrier, not just an inability. Therefore belief in defiance of one's evidence (or evidentialism) is impossible. Adler addresses such questions as irrational beliefs, reasonableness, control over beliefs, and whether justifying beliefs requires a foundation. Although he treats the ethics of belief as a central topic in epistemology, his ideas also bear on rationality, argument and pragmatics, philosophy of religion, ethics, and social cognitive psychology.
