Abstract
In this chapter, I will argue that "You must see the basket before your shoot" is bad advice. As with most action-packed sports, this sentence includes a spatial component and a temporal component, and in this chapter, I try to give an honest representation of what is currently known about these components-not very much. Compare the most advanced robot with any human, and it becomes clear that we know very little about the reciprocal bidirectional interaction between perception and action used by animals but not used in robots. The chapter includes details of research on the visual perception of basketball shooting and extends methodological principles and research ideas to other fields of perception-action.
