Nonverbal Behaviour in Football: A 3D Pose-Based Analysis of Player Expressions and Observer Perceptions
Nonverbal behaviour (NVB) is a critical component of human communication, particularly in high-stakes, naturalistic settings such as sport. Despite advances in computational analysis, the extent to which objectively computable NVB features reflect subjective human judgments remains unclear. In this study, we present the inaugural investigation into the correspondence between computable NVB indicators and observer perceptions in the context of eli…
Cognitive and Motor Creativity in the Same Task Environment: An Exploratory Study in Pool
Originality as well as appropriateness are necessary criteria for an idea or action to be creative. However, when investigating creativity, especially when divergent thinking tasks are used, it is not common to include a measure of appropriateness. We show that this may lead to a biased depiction of individual differences in generating creative ideas or actions. We devised a task that participants performed as divergent thinking (i.e. a cognitive…
Age-related changes in decision making with different wayfinding strategies
Wayfinding skills are known to decay in older age. The present study investigated the differential effects of older age on five cognitive strategies that travelers can use for decision-making at intersections. To avoid interindividual and methodological biases, we used a within-person approach, and designed similar environments for all strategies. Thirty young and thirty older adults were asked to navigate five mazes that required decision-making…
The perils of the first try: Experimental evidence for visuomotor calibration in darts and hammering
Task such as hammering or throwing darts involve intentional actions performed with the anticipation of a desired effect that requires precision to achieve success. Visual perception of the goal, defined in an external frame of reference, plays a crucial role in specifying movement parameters in a body-centered frame of reference. Physical interruption of the task decouples the internal and external frames of reference leading to rapid performanc…
The structure of cognitive strategies for wayfinding decisions
Literature proposes five distinct cognitive strategies for wayfinding decisions at intersections. Our study investigates whether those strategies rely on a generalized decision-making process, on two frame-specific processes—one in an egocentric and the other in an allocentric spatial reference frame, and/or on five strategy-specific processes. Participants took six trips along a prescribed route through five virtual mazes, each designed for deci…
The model of the brain as a complex system: Interactions of physical, neural and mental states with neurocognitive functions
The isolated approaching of physical, neural and mental states and the binary classification into stable traits and fluctuating states previously lead to a limited understanding concerning underlying processes and possibilities to explain, measure and regulate neural and mental performance along with the interaction of mental states and neurocognitive traits. In this article these states are integrated by i) differentiating the model of the brain…

The relationships between relative age effect, personality constructs and achievement level in soccer
IntroductionYouth soccer academies are challenged with the constant recruitment process of young talented players to select those who will achieve long-term success as an athlete. Youth soccer academies strive to enhance the physical and technical skill development as well as personality development of talented players because psychological characteristics play a crucial role in players' future success in their transition to professional soccer. …
Does hunger promote the detection of foods? The effect of value on inattentional blindness
Although human perception has evolved into a potent and efficient system, we still fall prey to astonishing failures of awareness as we miss an unexpected object in our direct view when our attention is engaged elsewhere (inattentional blindness). While specific types of value of the unexpected object have been identified to modulate the likelihood of this failure of awareness, it is not clear whether the effect of value on inattentional blindnes…

The effects of scheduling network models in predictive processes in sports
In many sports disciplines, the schedule of the competitions is undeniably an inherent yet crucial component. The present study modeled sports competitions schedules as networks and investigated the influence of network properties on the accuracy of predictive ratings and forecasting models in sports. Artificial networks were generated representing competition schedules with varying density, degree distribution and modularity and embedded in a fu…
A big data analysis of Twitter data during premier league matches: Do tweets contain information valuable for in-play forecasting of goals in football
Data-related analysis in football increasingly benefits from Big Data approaches and machine learning methods. One relevant application of data analysis in football is forecasting, which relies on understanding and accurately modelling the process of a match. The present paper tackles two neglected facets of forecasting in football: Forecasts on the total number of goals and in-play forecasting (forecasts based on within-match information). Senti…
Perceptual-cognitive processes underlying creative expert performance in soccer
The Expression of Success: Are Thin-Slices of Pre-performance Nonverbal Behavior Prior to Throwing Darts Predictive of Performance in Professional Darts
The present research attempted to test how skilled people are at predicting perceptual-motor performance of professional darts players based on short observations of pre-performance nonverbal behavior. In four thin-slices experiments (total N = 490) we randomly sampled stimulus material from the 2017 World Championships of Darts showing short video recordings of the players immediately before throwing darts. Participants were asked to estimate th…

Evaluation of the Technical Performance of Football Players in the Uefa Champions League
This study aimed to assess the technical match performance of top-class football players in a long-term perspective. Technical performance profiles of players according to five playing positions (central defender, full back, wide midfielder, central midfielder, forward) and five situational variables (competition stage, match location, quality of team, quality of opponent, match outcome) were established. Technical match data of players in the UE…

Why children join and stay in sports clubs: Case studies in Australian, French and German swimming clubs
This article builds upon research on youth sport clubs conducted from a socio-cultural perspective by reporting on a study that inquired into the reasons why children aged 9-12 joined swimming clubs in France, Germany and Australia. Comprising three case studies it employed a mixed method approach with results considered within the framework of Côté and colleagues' Development Model of Sport Participation (DMSP). It identifies the importance of p…
Development and Validation of a New Measure of Intuition: The Types of Intuition Scale
The Types of Intuition Scale (TIntS) measures three types of intuition identified in a literature review by Pretz and Totz (2007): holistic, inferential, and affective. Holistic intuitions integrate diverse sources of information in a Gestalt‐like, non‐analytical manner; inferential intuitions are based on previously analytical processes that have become automatic; and affective intuitions are based on feelings. Current intuition measures inadequ…

The Influence of Approach and Avoidance Behavior on Visual Selective Attention
Recent findings indicate that enactment of approach behavior broadens the focus of perceptual attention. The aim of the present study was to examine how approach and avoidance behavior influence visual selective attention. To achieve this, the authors combined approach and avoidance manipulations with a visual precueing task (local vs. global cues preceding either local or global targets). The authors hypothesized that participants with an enactm…

The Impact of Regulatory Fit on Performance in an Inattentional Blindness Paradigm
When people's self-regulatory focus (e.g., focus on gains vs. focus on avoiding losses) matches environmental demands (e.g., search gains vs. avoid losses), Regulatory Focus Theory predicts performance improvements because of "regulatory fit" (Higgins, 1997). In this article, the authors investigate attentional differences due to regulatory fit as a possible cause for changes in performance, using an inattentional blindness paradigm. Participants…
