Functional MRI reveals expert-novice differences during sport-related anticipation
journal contribution
posted on 2016-07-19, 13:38 authored by Michael J. Wright, Daniel T. Bishop, Robin JacksonRobin Jackson, Bruce AbernethyWe examined the effect of expertise on cortical activation
during sports anticipation using functional MRI. In
experiment 1, recreational players predicted badminton
stroke direction and the pattern of active clusters was
consistent with a proposed perception-of-action network.
This pattern was not replicated in a stimulus-matched,
action-unrelated control task. In experiment 2, players of
three different skill levels anticipated stroke direction from
clips occluded either 160ms before or 80ms after racquetshuttle
contact. Early-occluded sequences produced more
activation than late-occluded sequences overall, in most
cortical regions of interest, but experts showed an
additional enhancement in medial, dorsolateral and
ventrolateral frontal cortex. Anticipation in open-skill sports
engages cortical areas integral to observing and
understanding others’ actions; such activity is enhanced in
experts.
