Shared mental models (SMMs) can exert a positive influence on team sports performance because team members with SMMs share similar tasks and team-related knowledge. There is currently insufficient sports research on SMMs because the underlying theory has not been adapted adequately to the sports context, and different SMMs measurement instruments have been used in past studies. In the present study we aimed to externally validate and determine the construct validity of the "Shared Mental Models in Team Sports Questionnaire" (SMMTSQ).

Article Synopsis
  • Sport teams rely on Shared Mental Models (SMMs) to coordinate tasks and adapt behaviors effectively to enhance performance.
  • A new video-based method was developed to measure SMMs in tennis doubles by analyzing decision-making on ball interactions in two contexts: individual (Self) and partner (Partner).
  • Results indicated that the video-based measurement is reliable and feasible, though it did not correlate with traditional questionnaires, suggesting that different approaches may capture distinct aspects of SMMs in sports.

Background: Interpersonal touch is a key aspect of human interaction and a usually very comforting experience. For patients suffering from posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) caused by interpersonal traumatization, such touch is affectively ambiguous.

Methods: In two studies, we investigated the experience and neural processing of various types of interpersonal and impersonal touch in patients as compared with healthy controls.

Perception of olfactory information is mediated by both bottom-up (from molecules to perception) and top-down (e.g. cross-modal associative learning) processes.

Interpersonal touch possesses a strong affective component, which immediately evokes attention. The neural processing of such touch is moderated by specialized C-tactile nerve fibers in the periphery and results in central activation of somatosensory areas as well as regions involved in social processing, such as the superior temporal gyrus (STG). In the present functional neuroimaging investigation, we tested the hypothesis that the attention grasping effect of interpersonal touch as compared to impersonal touch is reflected in a more-pronounced deactivation of the default mode network (DMN).
