Abstract
The mechanisms involved in expertise in the last decade have been highly considered by the researchers. Expertise research considers how performers are able to deal with complex tasks and overcome limitations to become highly skilled. The current study aimed to compare visual search behavior in skilled and novice basketball players under temporal constraint. The participants of this research were 24 skilled (n=12) and novice (n=12) basketball players with an age range of 19 to 26 years. For this research, task was executed under 0%, 25% and 50% temporal constraint condition. The task included 10 one hand set shot in each of the temporal constraints. The participant’s visual search behaviors collected by using eye tracking glasses. Finally, for the research analysis, 2*3 ANOVA was used. The results showed that there was a significant different in number and duration of fixations between skilled and novice participants with and without temporal constraints, also number and duration of fixations were decreased by increase in temporal constraints. Based on the results of this study, visual search behavior can be one of the distinguishing factors of different skill levels, which focus on it can help to improve the expertise performance in sport.
