KEY WORDS: ……………………… . Introduction Among her many accomplishments in a distinguished career, over two decades ago Janet Starkes proposed an important change with significant consequences for empirical research in sport psychology. Her proposal was that the use of technology “may help us to move away from purely laboratory simulations to test situations with more realistic perceptual information” (Starkes, Edwards, Dissanayake & Dunn, 1995, p.166). This proposal is completely aligned with key ideas in ecological dynamics, espousing the rel- evance of studying sport performance at the individual-environment scale of analysis. The use of terms like “in situ” (e.g., Farrow & Abernethy, 2003), “on-court” tests (Starkes & Lindley, 1994), “field” tests (Starkes et al., 1995) and the like, capture how sport psychology research, influenced in part by Correspondence to: Duarte Araujo, Spertlab, Universidad de Lisbon, Portugal (e-mail: daraujo@fmh.utl.pt).
