The present study investigates the influence of goalkeeper displacement on goal-side selection in soccer penalty kicking. Facing a penalty situation, participants viewed photo-realistic images of a goalkeeper and a soccer goal. In the action selection task, they were asked to kick to the greater goal-side, and in the perception task, they indicated the position of the goalkeeper on the goal line. To this end, the goalkeeper was depicted in a regular goalkeeping posture, standing either in the exact middle of the goal or being displaced at different distances to the left or right of the goal's center. Results showed that the goalkeeper's position on the goal line systematically affected goal-side selection, even when participants were not aware of the displacement. These findings provide further support for the notion that the implicit processing of the stimulus layout in natural scenes can effect action selection in complex environments, such in soccer penalty shooting.
本研究调查了足球点球时守门员移动对球门侧选择的影响。面对点球情况，参与者观看了守门员和足球门的逼真图像。在动作选择任务中，要求他们踢向较大的球门侧，在感知任务中，他们要指出守门员在球门线上的位置。为此，守门员以常规的守门姿势呈现，要么站在球门正中间，要么从球门中心向左或向右移动不同距离。结果表明，即使参与者没有意识到守门员的移动，守门员在球门线上的位置也会系统地影响球门侧的选择。这些发现进一步支持了这样一种观点，即自然场景中刺激布局的隐式处理可以影响复杂环境中的动作选择，比如在足球点球射门中。
