Abstract

This article presents the results of a study carried out with basketball players of 13 years of age. The objective was to know the level of competence of in their hardware and software visual abilities and the relationships between the different variables studied, trying to establish a what kind of advance perceptual signals they use in their sport situations. It was applied three tests using the programs Discrimina and Reflex, and the Capturex system: All of them were designed and developed by the authors of this work, with the objective of measuring the number of successes and errors in the responses to different situations, and the response time in milliseconds. Results showed that participants with better levels of competence, and greater experience (time of practice) presented the best results in the variables under study. It was confirmed that there were not a visual behavioral pattern, and how these patter were adapted to the different demands of the test-situations. There were no interrelations between the performances showed by the subjects in each of these test situations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
