Objective: To review and synthesise research on technological debiasing strategies across domains, present a novel distributed cognition-based classification system, and discuss theoretical implications for the field.

Background: Distributed cognition theory is valuable for understanding and mitigating cognitive biases in high-stakes settings where sensemaking and problem-solving are contingent upon information representations and flows in the decision environment. Shifting the focus of debiasing from individuals to systems, technological debiasing strategies involve designing system components to minimise the negative impacts of cognitive bias on performance.

Understanding how both visual and contextual in-game information influences player's attempts to gain an advantage over their opponent is key to understanding skilled decision-making in fast-ball sports. In the present study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 male professional football players to explore their reported behaviours and perspectives on their in-game decision-making and the ways in which they adapt to gain an advantage over their opponent. Professional players who have competed internationally at either Under 17, Under 19, Under 21, or senior level took part in semi-structured interviews.
