Abstract

Abstract Concentration, focusing on the most relevant information for further processing, is regarded as a prerequisite for successful sporting performance. Athletes must possess awareness, knowledge, and controllability of their attention to concentrate effectively. One way to develop this awareness, knowledge, and controllability of attention is through the mechanism of meta-attention – thinking about, knowing about, and controlling attention. Meta-attention illuminates the underlying cognitive mechanisms that direct the attentional spotlight. We open with a brief background of attention and outline how concentration can be understood through a metacognitive lens. Next, we present Think Aloud Level 3 as a tool for capturing meta-attentional processes during sport performance. Finally, we discuss the applied implications of adopting a meta-attentional approach to understand concentration.
教运动员理解他们的注意力就是教他们集中注意力
集中注意力,集中在最相关的信息进行进一步处理,被认为是成功的运动表现的先决条件。运动员必须具备意识、知识和控制注意力的能力,才能有效地集中注意力。培养这种意识、知识和注意力可控性的一种方法是通过元注意机制——思考、了解和控制注意力。元注意阐明了引导注意力焦点的潜在认知机制。我们首先简要介绍注意力的背景,并概述如何通过元认知透镜来理解注意力。接下来,我们提出“大声思考”第3级作为捕捉运动表现过程中的元注意过程的工具。最后,我们讨论了采用元注意方法来理解集中的应用意义。
