Film-based simulation paradigm for training and testing anticipation and decision making¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

A laboratory paradigm in which an action sequence (e.g., tennis serves) is filmed from the player's perspective and replayed, occluded at various time intervals before, at or after ball-racket contact. Participants anticipate where and what type of shot the opponent will play and decide on a return shot; verbal or motor responses (speed and accuracy) are recorded. The paradigm enables anticipation and decision making to be isolated under controlled conditions, increasing opportunity for repetition and deliberate practice, and is used for pre-, post- and transfer tests.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Transfer tests involving opponents not previously observed, and potentially on-court data collection, to assess robustness of trained anticipation skill

Constraints¶

• The article notes limitations with existing perceptual-cognitive training work, notably regarding the measurement of skill transfer

Target Learners¶

• Athletes and other performers developing perceptual-cognitive anticipation and decision-making skills

Target Learning Goals¶

• Anticipation of opponents' actions; decision making under time constraints; pick-up of postural cues
