Badminton Playing Improves Adults’ Sensitivity to the Global Motion: Based on Perception Template Models

Abstract

Abstract: Many studies demonstrated that perceptual learning can improve the sensitivity to the global motion perception; however, little is known about its cognitive mechanism. To explore this issue, we investigated the performance for the badminton players and non-players in tasks of random dot kinematograms (RDKs) under two settings of response accuracies. The different levels of speed of RDKs were served as external noises according to the perceptual template model. The results showed that: 1) badminton players exhibited higher sensitivity to global motion and higher-level of the ability to exclude external noise; 2) both players and non-players showed lower sensitivities to global motion when the speed of RDKs increased. The findings may offer an alternative healthier choice for the rehabilitation of certain visual perception defects.

摘要： 大量研究探讨了经验积累对整体运动知觉（GMP）能力的影响，但对其内在机制知之甚少。为探讨羽毛球运动改善GMP能力的机制，本研究采用知觉模板模型，以随机点阵的速度变化作为外部噪声，考察了羽毛球运动员和非运动员在两种决策水平下的GMP能力差异。结果显示：（1）羽毛球选手的GMP敏感性高于非运动员，且有着更强的外部噪声排除能力；（2）点阵速度越大，GMP敏感性越差。本研究结果可为某些知觉缺陷的康复提供更为健康的训练方法。
