Abstract
Anticipation of upcoming actions plays an important role in decision making in sports situations. Ste-Marie (1999) noticed the relevance of anticipation in judging artistic gymnastics and recommended to provide judges with information about the upcoming gymnastics routine, assuming that this information corresponds to the performed routine. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of the provision of correct routine information (CRI) and incorrect routine information (IRI) on anticipation of upcoming elements in artistic female gymnastics judging. Twenty expert and 17 non-expert judges had to anticipate upcoming gymnastics elements, while they were provided with correct and incorrect routine information. It was shown that correct routine information facilitated anticipation of upcoming elements and incorrect routine information adversely affected anticipation of upcoming elements. An interaction effect was found for condition and expertise. Experts showed more correct answers in the CRI condition, whilst non-experts showed more correct answers in the IRI condition. No effect of expertise was found. Although the current results showed that correct routine information can benefit to anticipation of upcoming elements, the current results also indicated that the provision of routine information could adversely affect anticipation if the performed routine deviates from the intended routine.
