https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-automatic-release Changes to this claim in Matteo Campagna's evidence registry: its status, its year-by-year history, revisions of the page. en-gb https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-automatic-releaseOn target panic the registry's bibliography holds definitions, accounts and models, not measurements. In 2005 a review puts in writing the idea that the release comes under conscious control and distinguishes four forms, but it is a technical manual's account, with no data. In 2019 seven British archers explain in in-depth interviews that the problem began when their attention shifted to the score and the need to control the shot squeezed out the automatic reflexes: it is the description that comes closest to this idea, but it is a memory, not a measurement. In 2023 eight archers at an English university club describe a problem that comes on suddenly rather than as a gradual decline, that flares up as soon as they think about it, and for each of them a specific trigger they try to remove; in three kyudo practitioners the early release shows none of the marks of a dystonia. Nobody, though, has measured what happens at the release in affected archers. The Lab has given this idea the form of a hypothesis, de-automatization, with seven testable predictions, and in 2026 an independent theoretical model, also without data, proposes a similar mechanism: until the predictions are tested, the hypothesis awaits an outcome.claim:target-panic-automatismo:revision:2026-09-02:3Wed, 02 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-automatic-release#storiaThe Lab sets out the de-automatization hypothesis and registers seven testable predictions, still awaiting an outcome. In the same year a theoretical model published in a regional journal independently proposes a similar mechanism: the movement breaks down when conscious control returns to the final phase and execution switches from programmed to reactive, with target panic as the consequence. It is a proposal without data, like the Lab's hypothesis, so it moves nothing: until the predictions are tested, the answer is still awaited.claim:target-panic-automatismo:status_change:2026-07-20:previstoMon, 20 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-automatic-release#storiaThe first direct descriptions in archers arrive. Eight archers at an English university club report that the problem comes on suddenly rather than as a gradual decline, that thinking about their own trouble sets it off again, and that each of them identifies a specific trigger, a piece of equipment or a step in the shot sequence, which they try to remove. In the same year, in three kyudo practitioners with an early release, the marks of a dystonia are absent. These accounts fit the hypothesis, but nobody measures the automaticity of the release: the question stays unanswered.claim:target-panic-automatismo:history_entry:2026-04-22:2023Wed, 22 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-automatic-release#storiaFor the first time the academic literature puts a definition of target panic in writing: the anticipation of the release becoming conscious control, with four distinct forms, the involuntary flinch, the loose as soon as the sight touches the gold, the freeze and the punch of the drawing hand. It is a technical manual's account repeated inside a review, with nothing measured, so the idea has a described precedent but no test, and the question stays open.claim:target-panic-automatismo:history_entry:2026-04-22:2005Wed, 22 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/target-panic-automatic-releaseclaim:target-panic-automatismo:new_claim:2026-01-24:non_studiatoSat, 24 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT
