摘要
我们发现有证据表明,在射击任务中,陆军学员在高压力和低压力下的注视行为和表现都有所改善。研究的目的是确定在低压(LP)和高压(HP)条件下,男性和女性学员是否会随着时间的推移而发展出最佳的静视(QE)开始时间、更长的QE持续时间和更小的瞳孔直径变异性(PDV)。研究分四次进行,每次间隔 4.5 个月。在每次训练中,16 名男性和 12 名女性(巴西陆军军官学校一年级学员)在平衡低压和高压条件下进行了 10 次手枪射击。学员们采用直立姿势射击,并佩戴眼动仪。在 LP 条件下,男女学员的射击准确度均有提高,且无差异;但在 HP 条件下,女性学员在第 1 次训练中的表现比男性学员差,但在第 4 次训练中,她们的表现提高到了与男性学员相似的水平。在 LP 条件下,QE 持续时间前(瞄准)没有差异,而在 HP 条件下,男女 QE 持续时间后(执行)在整个过程中都有所增加。在 LP 阶段,男性的 QE 开始时间 2(执行)早于女性,而在 HP 阶段,女性的 QE 开始时间提高到了与第 3 和第 4 阶段男性相似的水平。男性和女性的 PDV 在各阶段均有所下降,最低值出现在第 3 和第 4 阶段。社会促进理论认为,训练环境会影响运动技能的提高速度。结果表明,如果在大约 12 至 18 个月的时间内安排三至四次 LP 和 HP 训练,女学员的射击成绩、安静用眼持续时间、安静用眼开始时间和瞳孔直径变化率都能提高到与男学员相似的水平。
Pistol shooting performance under pressure: Longitudinal changes in gaze behavior of male and female Army cadets
We found evidence that Army cadets improved their gaze behavior and performance across time under high and low pressure in a shooting task. The purpose of the study was to determine if male and female cadets developed an optimal quiet eye (QE) onset, a longer QE duration, and decreased pupil diameter variability (PDV) over time under low (LP) and high pressure (HP) conditions. The study was carried out over four sessions, with intervals of 4.5 months. During each session, 16 men and 12 women, first-year cadets of The Brazilian Army Academy, performed ten pistol shots under counterbalanced LP and HP conditions. The cadets shot in the upright position and wore an eye-tracker. Shooting accuracy improved and did not differ for men and women in the LP condition, however during HP the women performed more poorly than the men in session 1 but improved to a level similar to the men in session 4. QE duration Pre (aiming) did not differ during LP, while during HP QE Post (execution) increased across the session for men and women. QE onset 2 (execution) occurred earlier for the men than women during LP, while during HP the women improved to a level similar to the men in sessions 3 and 4. PDV declined across sessions for men and women with the lowest values in sessions 3 and 4. The findings are discussed within social facilitation theory, which states the context of training affects the rate at which improvements in motor skills occur. The results show that women cadets can improve their shooting performance, quiet eye duration, quiet eye onset and pupil diameter variability to a level similar to men if three to four LP and HP training sessions are scheduled across approximately 12–18 months.
期刊介绍:
Human Movement Science provides a medium for publishing disciplinary and multidisciplinary studies on human movement. It brings together psychological, biomechanical and neurophysiological research on the control, organization and learning of human movement, including the perceptual support of movement. The overarching goal of the journal is to publish articles that help advance theoretical understanding of the control and organization of human movement, as well as changes therein as a function of development, learning and rehabilitation. The nature of the research reported may vary from fundamental theoretical or empirical studies to more applied studies in the fields of, for example, sport, dance and rehabilitation with the proviso that all studies have a distinct theoretical bearing. Also, reviews and meta-studies advancing the understanding of human movement are welcome.
These aims and scope imply that purely descriptive studies are not acceptable, while methodological articles are only acceptable if the methodology in question opens up new vistas in understanding the control and organization of human movement. The same holds for articles on exercise physiology, which in general are not supported, unless they speak to the control and organization of human movement. In general, it is required that the theoretical message of articles published in Human Movement Science is, to a certain extent, innovative and not dismissible as just "more of the same."
