Why do bad balls get wickets? The role of congruent and incongruent information in anticipation

Abstract: Skilled anticipation is underpinned by the use of kinematic and contextual information. However, few researchers have examined what happens when contextual information suggests an outcome that is different from the event that follows. We aimed to bridge this gap by manipulating the relationship between contextual information and final ball location in a cricket-batting task. We predicted that when contextual information is congruent with the eventual outcome then anticipation would be facilitated. In contrast,… Show more

“…In the first block, both groups opted equally frequently for diagonal strokes, in the second block participants of group PR showed more frequent decisions in favor of the instructed direction. These findings go in line with other studies (Mann et al, 2014;Loffing et al, 2015b;Runswick et al, 2019) and support the idea that instructing about opponents' action preferences influences visual anticipation. While the exact mechanism underlying that effect remain unclear, recent explanations center around a Bayesian approach (Loffing and Hagemann, 2014;Gredin et al, 2019;Helm et al, 2020) or heuristics such as confirmation bias (Rajsic et al, 2015;Runswick et al, 2019).…”

“…Moreover, from pre-to post-test accuracy increased against the thrower with congruent behavior (i.e., preference in tests and training), but it decreased against the thrower with incongruent behavior (i.e., no preference in tests but in training). Performance of the N-PR-group did not markedly differ from pre-to post-test, suggesting that preference information pickedup during training is likely to explain performance changes in the PR-group (for similar findings see e.g., Loffing et al, 2015b;Gredin et al, 2018;Runswick et al, 2019).…”
