Die Rolle der Blickführung des Trainers bei der Memorisierung taktischer Bewegungen im Basketball: Eine Studie zur Blickverfolgung

The role of coach’s gaze guidance on memorization of tactical movements in basketball: an eye tracking study

Résumé

Even though coach behavior is known to affect learning, it is unclear which specific nonverbal behavior might optimize the teaching of a tactical content in basketball. Using eye-tracking technology, recall construction paradigm, and subjective ratings of mental effort, the present study investigated the question of whether the coach’s eye gaze would affect players’ visual attention and recall performance. Expert (N = 72) and novice (N = 72) players watched one of three types of video lecture in which the coach either (i) gazed at the camera while talking (ii) shifted his gaze between the camera and the whiteboard (guided gaze condition), or (iii) gazed at the whiteboard (fixed gaze condition). The results showed that the coach’s guided gaze not only made the novices focus their visual attention more on the corresponding elements of the game system, but also increased their recall performance and decreased their mental effort. However, the performance of the expert players remained the same regardless of the experimental condition, indicating an expertise reversal effect. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of the coach’s gaze guidance is strongly dependent on expertise levels.
