Behavioral Spatial Segmentation and Its Application to Sports Dynamics

In this literature review and theoretical paper, I present a psychological interpretation of sports situations in which space becomes a fundamental element. For this, I employ Kupalov’s studies regarding the conditioned place reflex and Gibson's field analysis about driving as locomotion and his later assumptions from his theory of affordances. I present Behavioral Spatial Segmentation as an analytical concept, and I apply it to a sports situation in soccer with some parameters offered for subsequent evaluation. I describe the utility of some modern analysis, measurement, and representation tools for investigating this type of situation. Finally, I present some conclusions and potential implications of this work for sports training.
