Abstract
The purposes of this study was to examine specific advance cues that volleyball players might employ as a basis for predicting the attacks in volleyball. In paticular the specific advance cues were attempted to delinate in comparison between experts and novices.
Subjects of this study were 15 expert and 15 novice volleyball players. Subjects were tested on a film task designed to simulate attacks from serve receive in volleyball. Each films were presented with varying degrees of temporal information. Subjects were required to predict which player attcking and to report judgment cues. The judgment cues divided body-language cues into contexual cues.
The major results were as follows:
1) The experts predicted significantly more accuracy than novices in the film series of 0 (the point of ball-setter contact).
2) The experts used more body-language cues than novices as judgement cues. And contextual cues which the experts used were different from those of novices.
3) The experts modified their incorrect response and report correct response in the film series of 0 (the point of ball-setter contact).
Whereas the novices modified in the film series of +2 (2 frames subsequent to ball-setter contact).
