This commentary considers the paper by Furley and Memmert (2010) who sought to test the respective validities of the specific processing and cognitive adaptation hypotheses. That they found no evidence of a difference between experienced basketball players and nonathletes on the Corsi block task, a measure of spatial memory, led them to infer support for the specific processing hypothesis, namely that differences between experts and novices manifest themselves only in processes related specifically to the domain of expertise. An alternative interpretation is offered, indicating possible confounds and referring to recent research that suggests Corsi block and dynamic spatial tasks depend upon different neuronal networks.
本评论探讨了 Furley 和 Memmert（2010）的论文，他们试图检验具体加工和认知适应假说的各自有效性。他们在 Corsi 积木任务（一种空间记忆测试）上没有发现有经验的篮球运动员和非运动员之间的差异证据，这使他们推断出对具体加工假说的支持，即专家和新手之间的差异仅表现在与专业领域相关的特定过程中。提供了另一种解释，指出可能存在混淆，并提到了最近的研究表明 Corsi 积木和动态空间任务依赖于不同的神经元网络。
