Attentional Style and Susceptibility to Distraction in Novice and Expert
Basketball Players
Crystal D. Oberle
Abstract
Static and
dynamic measures were used to assess attentional styles of basketball
players varying in expertise. In Experiment 1, 34 undergraduates
completed the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) as a static measure of
attentional style, and attempted 50 jump shots with or without
defenders. In Experiment 2, data on the final outcomes (scores) and
defenders of every jump shot were collected from 15 NCAA and 15 NBA
games. GEFT scores did not
differentiate novice and expert players. However, with the dynamic
measure, players with high school experience were more field dependent
than novices, whereas the NCAA and NBA players did not differ.
