Reports an error in "Experts appear to use angle of elevation information in basketball shooting" by Rita Ferraz de Oliveira, Raôul R. D. Oudejans and Peter J. Beek (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009[Jun], Vol 35[3], 750-761). On page 754 of the article, Figure 3 was repeated in place of Figure 4. The correct version of Figure 4 is provided in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2009-07761-010.) For successful basketball shooting, players must use information about the location of the basket relative to themselves. In this study, the authors examined to what extent shooting performance depends on the absolute distance to the basket (m) and the angle of elevation (alpha). In Experiment 1, expert players took jump shots under different visual conditions (light, one dot glowing on the rim in the dark, and dark). Task performance was satisfactory under the one-dot condition, suggesting that m and alpha provided sufficient information during movement execution. In Experiment 2, expert wheelchair basketball players performed shots binocularly and monocularly, under one-dot and light conditions. Performance under the one-dot condition was similar binocularly and monocularly, suggesting that distance information was not crucial for the online control of shooting. In Experiment 3, experts took jump shots under light, one-dot, and dark conditions while the basket's height was varied between trials unbeknownst to the participants. Players relied on alpha in combination with the official basket's height to guide their shooting actions. In conclusion, basketball shooting appears to be based predominantly on angle of elevation information. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved). |
