Visual-spatial demands in sports
Visual-spatial information processing demands in sports can be understood along two key dimensions: intrinsic versus extrinsic and static versus dynamic. Different sports require varying intersecting combinations of these dimensions, often emphasizing one aspect more than another. This study aimed to classify 20 commonly practiced sports based on perceived visual-spatial demands along these dimensions. Participants rated each sport using two sepa…
How does practice modulate fake-production costs in a basketball task? Analyses of frequency distributions and mixture effects
The execution of incompatible actions imposes costs on action planning, commonly known as response-response incompatibility-costs. This phenomenon is also evident in sports: A basketball player who performs a pass in one direction whilst orienting the head into the contrary direction (pass with head fake) needs more time to initiate the action as if pass direction and head orientation are the same (pass without head fake). The aim of this study w…
Practice reduces the costs of producing head fakes in basketball
Previous research indicates that performing passes with a head fake in basketball leads to increased response initiation times and errors as compared to performing a pass without a head fake. These so-called fake production costs only occurred when not given the time to mentally prepare the deceptive movement. In the current study, we investigated if extensive practice could reduce the cognitive costs of producing a pass with head fake. Twenty-fo…
Context-specific adaptation for head fakes in basketball
In basketball, an attacking player often plays a pass to one side while looking to the other side. This head fake provokes a conflict in the observing opponent, as the processing of the head orientation interferes with the processing of the pass direction. Accordingly, responses to passes with head fakes are slower and result in more errors than responses to passes without head fakes (head-fake effect). The head-fake effect and structurally simil…
Action inhibition in a sport-specific paradigm
To investigate the point where inappropriate defensive movements can no longer be inhibited and to validate suitable stimulus material for constructing a basketball-specific anticipation-response-inhibition task, two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, participants without basketball expertise (N = 25) watched a video of a basketball jump shot and were asked to release the space bar at the point when the ball leaves the player's fingerti…
Sequence representations after action-imagery practice of one-finger movements are effector-independent
Action-imagery practice (AIP) is often less effective than action-execution practice (AEP). We investigated whether this is due to a different time course of learning of different types of sequence representations in AIP and AEP. Participants learned to sequentially move with one finger to ten targets, which were visible the whole time. All six sessions started with a test. In the first four sessions, participants performed AIP, AEP, or control-p…
Mental rotation with colored cube figures
Cognitive load reduces interference by head fakes in basketball
Asymmetries in spatial perception are more prevalent under explicit than implicit attention
Anticipatory Motor Planning in Older Adults
Although the performance of the young-old participants in the unimanual and bimanual task was comparable to what has been reported for young adults, the performance of the old-old participants was rather similar to the behavior of children younger than 10 years. Thus, for the first time, evidence is provided for the decrease of the ESC effect in older adults
Cognition, action, and object manipulation
Although psychology is the science of mental life and behavior, little attention has been paid to the means by which mental life is translated into behavior. One domain in which links between cognition and action have been explored is the manipulation of objects. This article reviews psychological research on this topic, with special emphasis on the tendency to grasp objects differently depending on what one plans to do with the objects. Such dif…
