Examination of the suitability of collecting in event cognitive processes using Think Aloud protocol in golf

摘要: Two studies examined the use of think aloud (TA) protocol as a means for collecting data cognitive processes during performance in golf. In study 1, TA was employed to examine if different verbalisation (Level 2 or Level 3 TA) instructions influence high and low skilled golfers. Participants performed 30 putts using at either 2, 3, no verbalization condition. Although produced higher volume verbal than level did not impair putting compared verbalization. Study congruence between collected via cued retrospective recall golf performance. Experienced golfers six holes whilst engaging TA. After performance, three semi-structured interviews were conducted (ten minutes after 24 hours 48 performance). A comparison themes identified large discrepancies information reported interview, with only 38-41% similarity variables decision making on each hole. Both suggest is valuable method recording individuals task provides richer regarding decisions recall, does negatively impact
