Effectiveness of a video-feedback and questioning programme to develop cognitive expertise in sport.

ABSTRACT: The importance within sport expertise of cognitive factors has been emphasised in many research studies. Adaptations that take place in athletes' long-term memories are going to condition their decision-making and performance, and training programmes must be developed that improve these adaptations.
