✦ Synopsis
Three experiments examined the relative importance of attributes determined largely by the eciency of the visual/central nervous system versus cognitive domain-speci®c skills, in the determination of expertise in soccer. In Experiment 1, expert and intermediate soccer players were assessed on various non-speci®c abilities including: processing (simple reaction time, peripheral reaction time, visual correction time), optometric (static, dynamic and mesopic acuity), and perimetric parameters (horizontal and vertical peripheral range). In Experiment 2, domain-speci®c variables were assessed including complex decision speed and accuracy, number of visual ®xations, ®xation duration, and ®xation location in solving game problems. Stimuli were initially presented by slides (Experiment 2) and later by 16 mm ®lm (Experiment 3). Eye movements were recorded and analysed. A stepwise discriminant analysis of both non-speci®c abilities and soccer-speci®c skills revealed an average squared canonical correlation 0.84, with the signi®cant step variables all being domain-speci®c skills.
