Advance visual information, awareness and anticipation skill
journal contribution
posted on 19.07.2016, 15:39 authored by Robin JacksonRobin Jackson, Peter MoganThe authors examined 13 skilled, 13 recreational,
and 11 novice players’ awareness of the advance visual information
that they used to judge tennis serve direction. Participants
viewed video clips of serve actions under 5 conditions of spatial
occlusion. The authors assessed participants’ awareness by comparing
the different groups’ confidence associated with correct
and incorrect judgments and by conducting a postexperiment
free-recall test. The results indicated that information from the
ball toss and the arm + racquet region underpinned players’
anticipation skill and that greater expertise was accompained by
increasing awareness of the information on which judgments were
based. The authors discuss the implications of the present results
for researchers’ use of confidence ratings to assess awareness in
perceptual-judgment tasks.
