Abstract

Abstract Objectives Dynamic visualizations have become valuable assets in acquiring and improving sports skills. However, their instructional efficiency depends on their design and on learners’ cognitive abilities. Intending to improve learning sessions using these technologies, this study investigates the effects of visual realism and visuospatial abilities (VSA) on the memorization of soccer scenes. Methods Twenty-four soccer beginners first performed a multitask VSA test followed by the memorization and reproduction of three dynamic sequences with different levels of realism. An eye-tracking system was used in the memorization phase to record gaze behavior and identify the involved cognitive processes. Results Findings revealed that increasing visual realism disrupted learners’ memorization performance and visual processing. Moreover, learners with high-VSA were more efficient in memorizing soccer scenes than those with low-VSA and benefited more from reduced visual realism than low-VSA. Learners’ visual processing revealed that high-VSA were more focused on creating a mental representation of the content whereas low-VSA were rather visually guided when memorizing the scene. Conclusions Results imply considering learners’ VSA and adapting presentations’ visual realism to optimize tactical learning among beginners.

视觉真实感和视觉空间能力对足球战术记忆的影响

摘要目的动态可视化已成为获取和提高运动技能的宝贵资产。然而，他们的教学效率取决于他们的设计和学习者的认知能力。为了改进使用这些技术的学习过程，本研究调查了视觉现实主义和视觉空间能力（VSA）对足球场景记忆的影响。方法24名足球初学者首先进行多任务VSA测试，然后记忆和再现三个不同逼真度的动态序列。在记忆阶段使用眼动追踪系统来记录凝视行为并识别所涉及的认知过程。结果研究结果表明，视觉真实感的增强会干扰学习者的记忆表现和视觉处理。此外，具有高VSA的学习者在记忆足球场景方面比具有低VSA的学生更有效，并且比低VSA从视觉真实感的降低中受益更多。学习者的视觉处理表明，高VSA更专注于创造内容的心理表征，而低VSA在记忆场景时更受视觉引导。结论研究结果表明，考虑学习者的VSA，并调整演示的视觉逼真度，以优化初学者的战术学习。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
