High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

989
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Area of Science:

  • Sport Science
  • Motor Control
  • Expert Performance

Background:

  • The quiet eye (QE) period is the final visual fixation before movement initiation, crucial in sports.
  • In golf, QE extends beyond ball impact, with longer durations linked to complex tasks and higher skill levels.
  • However, excessively long QE may hinder performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how task complexity influences QE duration in golfers of varying skill levels (novice, intermediate, sub-elite).
  • Investigate the relationship between task complexity and QE duration in an in-situ golf setting.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty golfers (10 per skill group) performed four golf shots of increasing complexity (distance).
  • Measured total QE, pre-QE (pre-contact), and post-QE (post-contact) durations.
  • Utilized an in-situ design for ecological validity.

    • Main Results:

    • Novice golfers showed a significant linear increase in total QE duration with task complexity (53% increase).
    • Intermediate and sub-elite golfers did not exhibit a relationship between QE duration and task complexity.
    • A potential ceiling effect was observed in skilled golfers' QE durations.

    Conclusions:

    • QE duration's relationship with task complexity differs across skill levels, suggesting distinct underlying mechanisms.
    • Skilled golfers may have optimized QE, independent of task demands, possibly due to a ceiling effect.
    • Novice golfers' increased QE duration with complexity indicates higher cognitive load and sensitivity to task demands.
