Regarding expert-novice equestrian performance, generally in the expert-novice
motor performance literature, there are sets of acceptable procedures that
are starting to come forth for measuring experet-novice performance that
could be used in this study. As an example, in your case possibly the
performance of each athlete may not be a good indicator of 'expertise'
becasue of all of the other variables involved in an expert performance. One
way some researchers have gotten around this is to use recall of the
studied material, (in this case the layout of the course), in a post-test.
THere is a problem, though, with your hypothesis, if I'm not mistaken. Not
knowing much about equestrian events, I may be way off course, (pardon the
pun!, but here goes).

        The measurement of expert-novice differences in cases like this,
involves often occurring arrangements of objects, (in your case course
jumps). So if you are to expect to see great expert-novice differences, the
courses, ( or parts of those courses), must be courses that the expert would
come across more often than the novice would. In studies like these, where
the pieces of the puzzle, (ie couse), are displyed in totally random fashion
to both experts and novices, there is no difference in their ability to
recall the layout of objects. In otherwords, the 'chunks' must be meaningful
pieces of the layout in order for their to be a noticeable difference between
expert and novice performance.

        I hope I haven't totally convoluded the conversation. If you're
interested in references for this discussion, I can point you in the
right direction. Drop me a line if so.

In response to inquires about the Australian Institute of
Sport's LEAP Program, here is some basic information taken
from a recent LEAP Newsletter.

What is LEAP?
	LEAP (Lifeskills for Elite Athletes Program) is about
providing opportunities for athletes with people in business,
government and academia.  It aims to provide a truly national
focus on employment prospects, educational opportunities and
personal development skills for Australian elite athletes.

What Lifeskills are involved?
	Personal development programs within LEAP enable elite
athletes to improve their lifeskills.  The program involves
one to two days of discussions of issues such as personal
finances, contracts, development of curriculum vitae, job
interview skills and assistance in forming support networks.
It is designed to transfer developed skills and competitive
attitudes on the track, field and pool, to other aspects of life.

LEAP and Academia?
	In cooperation with the AIS, educational institutions
throughout Australia have agreed to identify an academic mentor
in each teritary institution who will provide advice to those
elite athletes undertaking academic programs.

Corporate involvement in LEAP?
	Dozens of Australian companies have joined the LEAP
Program and are benefiting from having an employee working
with the company who is ranked in the top 20 in the world
in their sport.
	During their sporting careers athletes will work part
-time for participating companies and be trained for permanent
full-time positions when they give away competitive sport.
In launching the program the Director of the AIS, Robert de Castella,
said that "LEAP is a partnership - one which will produce results
in the office or on the shopfloor, as well as on the track or in the pool.

	In summary, the Australian Institute of Sport propose
that this program of career and educational support will result
in a well-balanced athlete who is hopefully able to take charge
of their present and future lives.  It is interesting that the AIS
in launching the program nationally has also worked closely with
the State Institutes of Sport to ensure LEAP becomes a successful
national program to assist all Australian elite athletes.

Steve,
      Could you expand on the LEAP program that you mentioned.  What does this
program include and who is elligible?  It sounds like it could be a great
opportunity for the athletes.  Do the athletes participate willingly or is its
required?  Thank you!

The subject line has it wrong - the USOC is in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  It
happens to be on a street named Boulder Avenue, but it's not in Boulder
 Colorado.

uccs.edu is the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, which is one

Dear A. Moran:

You might direct some of your questions to Morgan et al. I know that
one of his grad students looked at anxiety and performance in Tour de France
riders and found that more anxious riders performed less well.
I looked at the STAI in US Canoe Association marathon canoeist at a
national competition and found similar results. Increased anxiety scores
were associated with decreased race performance across age and gender.

My guess is that this is a characteristic across sport.

Hope this helps a little.

in finding literature to get me started.
    I would welcome any advice that members of the group may have on good

Subject:      Student Retention

Let me add a few words to the student retention issue.

As an Australian post-graduate student who has not studied
in North America, I am unfamiliar with the background to the
issue of athletic scholarships, academic progress and student
retention in the US.  However I am somewhat familiar with the
same for Australian athletes who are awarded scholarships at the
Australian Institute of Sport.

My point is to support Ray MacNeil's earlier comments about the
social and cultural issues of the debate.

The AIS Field Hockey Unit, based in Perth Western Australia,
is the group that I am most familiar with and best able to
comment on.  Many of the scholarship-holders are students,
and a large proportion are enrolled in a variety of courses
at Curtin University of Technology.  Essentially these students
must gain entry into their courses in the same way as non-athletic
students, ie. from final year high school scores or their earlier
undergraduate record.

Overall, the academic scores of these field hockey players have
been quite good.  This occurs inspite of the considerable pressure
and time committed to training, etc.  Bear in mind that many of these
athletes are members of the Australian Mens' and Womens' Olympic
Squads competing for a ticket to Barcelona.  However the academic the
progress of the athletes is regarded highly by the AIS coaches and
staff, and Australian coaches who are based in Perth.  This I feel
is a key issue in the debate.

In fact, over the past three years the academic successes of
athletes at the AIS Field Hockey Unit has shown a steady rise
with some athletes achieving very high grades.   Certainly,
the current economic climate, influence of the resident tutor,
and support programs such as LEAP (Lifeskills for Elite Athletes
Program) and the encouragement of the coaches have contributed to
this progress.

Dear Sport Psych colleagues,

I'd be very grateful if anyone could please help me with two queries:
First, does anyone know of any psychological studies of expert-novice
differences in equestrian sport performance? One of my students is
interested in exploring, for different levels of equestrian expertise,
the effect of prior viewing of the course on subsequent performance. She
thinks that less experienced riders may react anxiously to this whereas
more expert counterparts may be able to "chunk" the course layout better
and hence be more successful subsequently.

Second, a similar request for any studies on concentration skills training
(or indeed any psychological interventions) with field hockey players.
Most of the literature on attentional skills development seems to be geared
towards individual sports.
All help or suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks a lot,
Best wishes,
Aidan Moran (Psychology Dept, UC Dublin, Ireland).

Subject:      Olympic Village as a research setting

THE GAMES PROJECT
A STUDY OF OLYMPIC VILLAGE

I am an environmental psychologist interested in the setting of
the Olympic Games as a research site.  I wrote this list once before about
this project - quite a while ago - and several
people were very helpful in identifying literature and people to
contact.

Now I am writing to see if anyone would like to support or become
involved in the project.

The Games Project (as we call it) starts with the premise that
there is both practical and theoretical value in a study of the
setting of the Olympic Games, and in particular the Olympic
Village.

Our goals for this research are to:

     - better understand the way in which the design, layout and
     organization of Olympic Village affects the performance and
     experience of those who participate in the games;

     - begin a learning process whereby each succeeding Olympic
     Village might build on the success of its predecessors and
     grow increasingly more appropriate for its intended uses.

     - increase understanding of the way in which the environment
     affects (exacerbates or ameliorates) performance under
     stress;

     - study how culture affects use of and response to the
     environment:

There are other issues relating to the impact of the Games on
urban development, which seem less appropriate to discuss on this
list.

This is an exploratory effort, investigating both concepts of how
the environment affects behavior, but also appropriate methods of
study.

I am happy to say that we will be working with the cooperation of
Shane Murphy, head of Sports Psychology at the USOC.

What I am specifically interested in is:

     1) any comments, insights, references with respect to the
     premises and goals of this project

     2) help in identifying persons outside North America to
     involve in this project.   We have some international
     support, but need more.  We particularly want to make
     contact with the Olympic Committees of other nations.

     3) help in identifying people who will be going to Barcelona
     as participants (athletes, coaches, trainers, journalists,
     tourists) who we might recruit as participant observers


I will be looking forward to any comments coming from the list.

Subject:      No system console when IPL

We are running VM/SP HPO 5.0 (9101) under VM/XA SP 2.1 (9002+) as a
V=F guest. Recently we are having problem getting to the system consoles.
Our primary system console is 3192 model G, alternate console is 3290
model 2. There were times that the primary console did not come up, but
alternate console came up. Other times neither primary nor alternate
console came up. But after serveral tries, the primary console
eventually will come up.

Last Sunday, we went to HPO PUT 9105, could not get the primary or
alternate console to come up after 3 or 4 tries. From the XA console's
query, it indicated that the HPO was IPLed and disconnected, and the
consoles are attached to HPO. I then decided to go back to PUT 9101.
Even though the problem does not seem to be only associated with 9105.
(After going back to 9101, one of several ipls failed).

The HPO primary console is defined as device type 3279 model 3B in IOCD
(a 3279-3B is a model with 32 lines and extended color, 7 colors vs 4)
and as device type 3279 model 3 in HCPRIO and DMKRIO. Could this be
a problem? How or where should I look into to find out the cause of this
problem?  No error messages were shown.

Thank you in advance.

As I understand your problem, it is occurring on your 2nd level
HPO system. If this is true, it shouldn't be too difficult to
track down. So far as restrictions go, I recall some
documented in the CP Planning guide. I don't recall specifics
for your CP level but that is the first place to check.

If your GRAF models are legal as system consoles, you may have
a real CP problem (probably config -sensitive)
You can use 1st level's CP TRACE (formerly PER)
to see why your console is not being located (I once had to
do this 1st level hardware ADSTOP's ... a lot less fun).
If I remember my HPO (4 and above) correctly, there's a module
called DMKOPE (or something very similar) whose job it is
to locate the system's console (to be logged on as OPERATOR)
during CP initialization. This is a good starting pt.
Trace the logic to see why your consoles are not being used.
Look in the RDEVbloks for them and make sure they are ONLINE.
If not, you may need to trap DMKMNT (at least that was the HPO4
module) to see why they are not. This is a little less straight forward
as MNT gets called to 'mount' every device in your RIO.

Hope this helps.
