- Abstract
Performance of basketball players and nonplayers was compared on a task requiring the recall of slides of basketball games after a 4-second view of each slide. All slides viewed depicted basketball games; one half of the slides contained structured game information (slide represented an offensive playing progress) and the other half of the slides showed unstructured game information (slide represented a turnover or rebound). As has been found for skilled chess, bridge, and Go players, basketball players were superior to nonplayers in recall for structured slides only. Furthermore, players were superior to nonplayers in a recognition task for both structured and unstructured slides, showing that players' superiority in the experimental tasks is a function of encoding information to a deeper level than nonplayers.
