Abstract
The importance of advance cue sources to decision-making in cricket batting was examined in two experiments in which the time available to view the visual display before reaching response selection was either under subject control (experiment 1) or under experimenter control (experiment 2). Eighteen batsmen from three skill groups were required to make response selection decisions to filmed sequences of the run-up and delivery action of two medium-pace bowlers. In the first experiment, in which ball flight information was available, first grade batsmen produced more accurate stroke-selections than lower grade batsmen, although interpretation of this effect was confounded by covariate group differences in the trade-off of response speed for accuracy. In the second experiment, in which ball flight was occluded and the viewing time was held constant for all subjects, there was a trend towards greater extraction of advance information by the highly skilled batsmen. All groups were apparently capable of deriving usable information from events prior to ball flight although ball flight information appeared to be necessary for improvement in response accuracy over a series of practice trials. Implications were drawn concerning the means by which skilled performers reach response-selection decisions. Verf.-Referat
