Study on the correlation between multiple object tracking ability and eye- tracking characteristics in sports decision making among basketball players.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Variations in attention and search strategies can partially explain the differences in players' decision-making capabilities. This study aims to explore the correlation between basketball players' multiple object tracking (MOT) ability and visual search in sports decision-making tasks using the expert-novice paradigm.

Methods

Forty-eight college students were selected and divided into two groups: the expert group (24 basketball players) and the novice group (24 general college students). Using different numbers and speeds in MOT tasks, the Eyelink eye tracker was employed to record the visual search process during sports decision-making tasks. The correlation coefficient between MOT accuracy and eye-tracking indicators was then analyzed.
