Sex, Eye Preference and Speed of Stimulus Effect on Anticipation of Coincidence

Abstract: The intent of this study was examination of effects of sex of subject, eye preference, and speed of stimulus on anticipation of coincidence. 15 men and 15 women made estimates of a baseball's arrival at the front edge of a home plate. Subjects had blocks of trials while standing with either the preferred or nonpreferred eye closest to the oncoming ball, followed by trials of the other eye closest. Balls were projected 45 ft. by a pitching machine at speeds of 35, 40, 45, and 50 mph. Analysis indicated no signi… Show more

“…There is considerable evidence indicating that men usually perform with less variable error (VE) and absolute error (AE) than women (e.g., Wrisberg, et a/., 1979;Payne, 1988;Payne & Michael, 1990;Wdiams, Katene, & Fleming, 2001). Interpretations of these findings include ddferences in participation rates in sports with anticipatory demands (Petrakis, 19851, effects of sociocultural variables (Singer, 19801, differences in motoric factors (Wrisberg, et al, 1979), differences in spatiotemporal slull (Schkf & Oldak, 19901, and the use of a more conservative approach to responding by women (Schiff & Oldak, 1990;Wdhams, Katene, & Fleming, 20011. However, there is also work that does not support sex differences (e.g., Stadds, 1972;Wrisberg & Mead, 1983;Dunham & Reeve, 1990;W~Uiams, Jasiewicz, & Simmons, 2001). Given that equivocal results have emerged from studies involving a wide range of movement responses, the present investigation specifically concerned the question of whether differeAt types of movement response influence sex differences in coincidence timing.…”

“…2. O que tem sido mostrado, de lato, é que em tarefas sincronizatórias as velocidades mais baixas são aquelas que induzem ao pior desempenho (Dunham & Reeve, 1990;Haywood, 1977Haywood, , 1983Payne & Michael, 1990;Teixeira, Santos & Andreysuk, 1992). 3.…”

“…Essa limitação na velocidade neural de controle pode impor sérias restrições à precisão de respostas à medida que o objeto móvel adquire velocidades relativamente altas. Em condições experimentais, 1 * por exemplo, têm sido empregadas tarefas sincronizatórias com velocidade de bola atingindo 22,4 m.s' em tarefa relacionada ao "basebol" (Dunham, 1989;Dunham & Reeve, 1990) e 30 m.s*1 em tarefa relacionada ao críquete (McLeod, 1987). Essas velocidades de deslocamento de um estímulo visual são uma amostra das velocidades observadas em situações onde se exige mais da antecipação temporal, o que representa respectivamente 4,5 e 6,0 m de extensão da trajetória da bola, na fase pré-contato, em que a informação visual a princípio seria de pouca utilidade considerando-se um tempo de reação visual de 200 ms. Uma análise mais detalhada dos estudos acima citados, no entanto, revela diferenças críticas sobre o uso de informação visual em tarefas sincronizatórias com diferentes níveis de incerteza.…”

“…However, some studies have not shown sex to be significant (Petrakis, 1985;Dunham & Reeve, 1990). Dunham and Reeve (1990) stated "analysis yielded no significant dderences in accuracy, response bias, or consistency and performance over sex. "…”
