Abstract:
Team cognition (TC) is often used as an umbrella term to describe how cognitive processes are relevant for effective sports teams. Eldadi and Tenenbaum (2025) provide a comprehensive review of the foundation and developments of TC and outline future directions for research and practice. Building on their work, we would like to highlight three additional aspects that, in our view, require further attention of team cognition researchers in sport: First, there exists a "jingle-jangle jungle" of terms and methods within team cognition. Second, this conceptual and methodological inconsistency highlights the need for clear and distinct definitions of the different terms resolving the jingle-jangle jungle. Third, these efforts must be grounded in the specific characteristics and demands of the sport context.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
