Abstract

The present study investigated the role of top-down and bottom-up processes during a deceptive sports strategy called “no-look passes” and how microsaccades and small saccades modulate these processes. The first experiment examined the role of expertise in modulating the shift of covert attention with the bottom-up procedure. Results showed more saccades of greater amplitude and faster peak velocity in amateur than in expert groups. In the second experiment, the shift of covert attention between top-down and bottom-up conditions was investigated in a group of expert basketball players. Analysis showed that athletes make more microsaccades during the bottom-up condition; meanwhile, during the top-down condition, they were pushed to make more small saccades to decide where to send the ball. The findings suggested that the top-down process stimulates the eyes to move more concerning the bottom-up condition. It could be explained by the fact that during the top-down condition, athletes do not have an "eyehold” that stimulates their attention. During the top-down condition, athletes had to shift their attention to both sides before making the pass, resulting in their eyes being more "hesitant" concerning the situation in which they are peripherally stimulated.

外围目标在刺激眼球运动中的作用

本研究调查了在一种名为 "不看传球 "的欺骗性运动策略中自上而下和自下而上过程的作用，以及微注视和小注视如何调节这些过程。第一项实验研究了专业知识在调节自下而上程序的隐蔽注意力转移中的作用。结果显示，业余组比专家组有更多幅度更大、峰值速度更快的囊视。在第二个实验中，一组篮球高手研究了隐蔽注意力在自上而下和自下而上条件下的转移。分析表明，运动员在自下而上的条件下做出更多的微注视；与此同时，在自上而下的条件下，他们被迫做出更多的小注视，以决定将球送到哪里。研究结果表明，在自下而上的条件下，自上而下的过程会刺激眼睛做更多的移动。这可能是因为在自上而下的条件下，运动员没有 "眼球锁定 "来刺激他们的注意力。在自上而下的条件下，运动员在传球前必须将注意力转移到两侧，这导致他们的眼睛在受到外围刺激的情况下更加 "犹豫不决"。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
