Anticipation Timing
🎯
Predict when a moving target arrives. The ball vanishes partway across — tap the track at the exact moment you think it crosses the finish line.
6 rounds, each with a different speed. Scored by average timing error in milliseconds.
How it works:
1. Press Start Round
2. Watch the ball roll toward the finish line
3. It disappears before arriving — keep tracking it mentally
4. Tap the track when you think it reaches the line
Closer taps score higher. No audio required.
What Is Anticipation Timing?
Coincidence-Anticipation
Anticipation timing (also called coincidence-anticipation timing) is the ability to predict when a moving object will arrive at a specific point, even after losing sight of it. It's distinct from simple reaction time — you're not reacting to a signal, you're predicting one.
Used in Sports Science
This skill is central to hitting a baseball, timing a tennis return, or catching a pass. Athletes train it directly; researchers measure it with devices like the Bassin Anticipation Timer. Regular practice sharpens your internal sense of motion and timing.
