The aim of this study was to examine the neural bases for perceptual-cognitive superiority in a soccer anticipation task using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Thirty-nine participants lay in an MRI scanner while performing a video-based task in which they predicted an oncoming opponent's movements. Video clips were occluded at four time points, and participants were grouped according to in-task performance. Early occlusion reduced prediction accuracy significantly for all participants, as did the opponent's execution of a deceptive maneuver; however, high-skill participants were significantly more accurate than their low-skill counterparts under deceptive conditions. This perceptual-cognitive superiority was associated with greater activation of cortical and subcortical structures involved in executive function and oculomotor control. The contributions of the present findings to an existing neural model of anticipation in sport are highlighted.
本研究旨在使用功能磁共振成像（fMRI）探讨足球预判任务中感知认知优势的神经基础。39 名参与者躺在 MRI 扫描仪中，同时执行一项基于视频的任务，在该任务中他们预测迎面而来的对手的动作。视频片段在四个时间点被遮挡，参与者根据任务表现进行分组。早期遮挡显著降低了所有参与者的预测准确性，对手执行欺骗性动作也是如此；然而，在欺骗条件下，高技能参与者的准确性明显高于低技能参与者。这种感知认知优势与参与执行功能和眼球运动控制的皮质和皮质下结构的更大激活有关。本研究结果对现有的运动预判神经模型具有重要意义。
