TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Human navigational strategy for intercepting an erratically moving target in chase and escape interactions JO - Journal of Motor Behavior A1 - Tsutsui, Kazushi A1 - Shinya, Masahiro A1 - Kudo, Kazutoshi SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - 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.
