In sports, studies on visual behavior have mostly focused on expert-novice differences during decision making tasks and during aiming tasks. How visual behavior changes during the early stages of skill acquisition however, has hardly been documented. The current study investigated gaze behavior of young soccer players during the execution of a soccer passing task. Gaze behavior of eleven 8- to 10-year-old soccer players was recorded while they performed the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test. Based on their score, participants were then divided into a high performance group (N=5), and a low performance group (N=6). Results showed that the low performance group tended to look more at the ball while they were handling it. These findings suggest that gaze strategies develop alongside technical skills. More insights in the interplay between technical skills and gaze strategies during skill acquisition could lead to improved training methods for young soccer players.
在体育领域，关于视觉行为的研究大多集中在决策任务和瞄准任务过程中的专家与新手差异上。然而，在技能习得的早期阶段视觉行为是如何变化的，却鲜有文献记载。当前的研究调查了年轻足球运动员在执行足球传球任务时的注视行为。在11名8至10岁的足球运动员进行拉夫堡足球传球测试时，记录了他们的注视行为。然后根据他们的得分，将参与者分为一个高表现组（N = 5）和一个低表现组（N = 6）。结果显示，低表现组在处理球时往往更多地看向球。这些发现表明，注视策略是与技术技能同步发展的。在技能习得过程中，对技术技能和注视策略之间相互作用有更多的深入了解，可能会为年轻足球运动员带来改进的训练方法。
