Human Factors; Aircraft; Procedure
After a successful touchdown and initial ground roll; I began the transition and clean up to continue 'on the go.' Although I do not recall grabbing the landing gear knob and lever; the gear position changed and the nose gear changed to the up position. I may have inadvertently hit the gear lever as my hand went for the throttle. Regardless; the nose gear retracted and the nose of the airplane settled to the runway. The airplane rolled to a stop while the propeller and the underneath of the nose skidded on the runway. No injuries. No damage to other property.From this point on; I will adopt additional 'call out - response' procedures to verify that my hand placement is correct and that the right action is taking place.
[Incident] could have been avoided had the PIC/pilot flying not reached for the gear lever; returned it to the down position immediately upon hearing the gear warning horn; or powered through the takeoff while sufficient airspeed remained.
Transitioning to takeoff from a touch-and-go landing; C182RG pilot inadvertantly raised the gear handle. Aircraft settled onto the runway and skidded to a stop.
