Abstract

ABSTRACT Movement experts tend to outperform non-experts on some tasks of spatial ability, suggesting that movement experts possess enhanced spatial-cognitive abilities, which may be developed over years of practice. In the current study, movement experts (dancers and athletes) and non-experts completed one verbal working memory task and two spatial working memory tasks—a traditional Corsi block-tapping task and a new full-bodied version of the Corsi task, nicknamed the “Twister Task.” Movement experts outperformed non-experts on both the Corsi and Twister tasks but not on the verbal task, suggesting that movement experience may relate to spatial working memory specifically. Additionally, the Twister task significantly correlated with the traditional Corsi task, providing validation for a new measure of spatial working memory.
在传统任务和具身任务中,运动专家的空间工作记忆得到增强
运动专家在某些空间能力任务上的表现往往优于非专家,这表明运动专家具有更强的空间认知能力,这可能是经过多年练习而发展起来的。在目前的研究中,运动专家(舞者和运动员)和非专家完成了一个口头工作记忆任务和两个空间工作记忆任务——一个传统的科西积木敲击任务和一个新的科西任务的完整版本,绰号“扭扭任务”。运动专家在Corsi和Twister任务上的表现优于非专家,但在口头任务上表现不佳,这表明运动经验可能与空间工作记忆特别相关。此外,Twister任务与传统的Corsi任务显著相关,为空间工作记忆的新测量提供了验证。
