Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning effect of pattern recognition on a tennis net-players anticipation. An experiment was conducted to determine whether the learning of pattern recognition with the film was significantly effective in improving the speed and accuracy of motor response to the film stimulus of the opposing passers return. Subjects were 12 male beginners12, male intermediaries, and 10 male advanced players. And the first two groups were given instructions and KR with the films in the learning session. The major results are as follows: 1) In the pre-learning reaction time test to the film stimulus, the reaction time of both the beginners and the intermediaries were significantly longer than that of the advanced. 2) During the learning session, the correct answer rates of both the beginners and the intermediaries on pass-lob and cross-straight anticipation were significantly increased. 3) In the post-learning reaction time test, the reaciton time of both the beginners and the intermediaries were significantly shortened, and they showed smaller values than the advanced. And the correct response rates of both groups in the film series of 0 were also significantly increased. 4) The learning effect of the intermediaries was significantly greater than that of the beginners. These results suggest that the learning of pattern recognition with the film has a noticeable effect on the improvement in anticipation and the speed and accuracy of motor response of the opposing passers return.
