ABSTRACT:
A comparison was made between eyewitness testimony to criminal situations and observations made by coaches and teachers following a sporting performance. An experiment was undertaken in which novice coaches were tested on their ability to observe and recall critical technical events that occured during one half of an international soccer game. Three experimental groups received instructions either prior to or following the game. These instructions varied in the amount of information that was given to direct the observations of the coaches toward a final post game questionnaire. The results showed that the overall probability of recalling critical events correctly for all coaches was approximately 0.42. There were no statistically significant differences between experimental groups, but there were differences in the ability of coaches to recall certain categorized events more accurately than others.
