Abstract
Team cognition (TC) is often used as an umbrella term to describe how cognitive processes are relevant for effective sports teams. Eldadi and Tenenbaum (2025) provide a comprehensive review of the foundation and developments of TC and outline future directions for research and practice. Building on their work, we would like to highlight three additional aspects that, in our view, require further attention of team cognition researchers in sport: First, there exists a “jingle-jangle jungle” of terms and methods within team cognition. Second, this conceptual and methodological inconsistency highlights the need for clear and distinct definitions of the different terms resolving the jingle-jangle jungle. Third, these efforts must be grounded in the specific characteristics and demands of the sport context.
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.
