This study aimed to extend the notion of the theory of event coding as an explanation of action anticipation in expert sport performers. This was achieved by investigating the degree with which automatic anticipation depends on the ecological congruency between the perceived action and its distal effect. In a novel approach, the representational momentum paradigm was adopted to address this notion. Expert ( = 16) and novice ( = 20) rugby players observed a dynamic video of a short pass that was displayed as either toward or away from a receiver. Following an occlusion interval, participants were required to judge whether the video resumed at the same place, further forward or further backward than its original stopping place. Experts demonstrated stronger anticipatory tendencies when the action was directed toward the receiver. This relationship was modulated by a leftward directional bias that is discussed in the context of a bias in viewing behavior that is underpinned by attention. Novice anticipatory tendencies were independent of context. These findings show support for the extension of the theory of event coding.
本研究旨在扩展事件编码理论的概念，以解释专业体育运动员的动作预期。这是通过调查自动预期在多大程度上取决于所感知动作与其远端效应之间的生态一致性来实现的。采用了一种新颖的方法，即表征动量范式来探讨这一概念。16名专家级和20名新手级橄榄球运动员观看了一个短传的动态视频，该视频显示为朝着或远离接球手的方向。在一段遮挡间隔后，参与者需要判断视频是否在与原始停止位置相同的地方、更靠前或更靠后的位置继续播放。当动作指向接球手时，专家表现出更强的预期倾向。这种关系受到向左方向偏差的调节，该偏差在由注意力支撑的观看行为偏差的背景下进行了讨论。新手的预期倾向与情境无关。这些发现支持了事件编码理论的扩展。
