Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Sports Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Decision-making in sports is complex, involving cognitive strategies.
  • Understanding the defending player's preparation is crucial for analyzing squash tactics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To specify cognitive processes underlying decision-making in squash competition.
  • To analyze the defending player's choice of preparation strategies using a computer simulation approach.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a computer simulation approach to model cognitive processes.
  • Focused on obtaining and analyzing verbal protocols from defending players.
  • Detailed the four steps: verbal protocol acquisition, analysis, computer simulation, and validation.

Main Results:

  • The study outlines the methodology for using computer simulations to understand cognitive strategies.
  • Emphasis is placed on the verbal protocol as a key data source for analysis.
  • Identified three categories of player preparation: total, partial, and no biased preparation.

Conclusions:

  • Computer simulation provides a framework for investigating cognitive decision-making in sports.
  • Verbal protocol analysis is a vital component in simulating complex cognitive behaviors.
  • The findings contribute to understanding tactical decision-making in squash.
