Abstract
Virtual reality is a promising technology that can be used to assess and train decision -making skills in sports.
However, it is not necessarily clear what benefits this technology offers compared to previous technologies. The
present study investigated the differences in option generation related to tactical decision-making when the sametactical scene was observed in 2D video and 3D VR. Soccer players (N = 27) were asked to observe tactical scenes
and verbally report as many tactical options as possible under 2D video and 3D VR conditions. They wereclassified into high-, medium-, or low-decision capability groups based on the decision-making test. Irrespectiveof the capability, the 2D video and 3D VR had the same number of generated options. However, 3D V R generated
more aggressive options that led to the goal, even though the exact same scene was observed between theconditions. This result may be because 3D VR can reproduce more realistic information exploration behavior than
2D video. Given that differences were observed regardless of skill level, the results suggest that VR technology
has the potential for use as a more accurate decision evaluation method and effective training tool compared toprevious methods for a wide variety of learners.

1. Introduction

The amount of intensive experience is one of the most important factors in the acquisition of various skills(Ericson et al., 1993; Fitts and Posner, 1967). Therefore, the use of virtual reality (VR), which allows us toexperience interaction as if we were present in that physical environment (Kittel et al., 2020), seems to contributeto an increase intensive experience (Appelbaum and Erickson, 2018). For example, sports such as soccer requirea large space, many players, and physical resources in practice. Thus, individual daily training is limited totechnical skills (e.g., dribbling and shooting) that do not require such resources. On the other hand, it is difficult
to practice decision-making (e.g., what play to choose or where to pass), which is the ability to select the best
possible option from a variety of alternatives based on the configuration of opponents and their teammates. Given
the importance of decision making for success in many complex dynamic sports (Araújo et al., 2006; Williams
and Ericsson, 2005; Williams et al., 2011), the above constraints of the practice environment would limit athletes’
skill development. VR has the potential to free players from such constraints, and considering that richexperience facilitates decision-making skills (Miller et al., 2017), it could make a significant contribution. In
particular, the emergence of inexpensive stand-alone VR devices that utilize head-mounted displays, such as
Meta Quest and VIVE Focus, has rapidly expanded opportunities for individuals to access these environments ;several commercial applications are also available that claim to enhance decision-making. However, tounderstand the effects of VR experience on realistic sports skills, it is important to identify not only the direct
training effects of VR (e.g., Fortes et al., 2021) but also what the VR environment specifically brings to theathlete (e.g., Abich et al., 2021; Gray, 2019; Harris et al., 2021; Kittel et al., 2020).

Psychological fidelity has been noted to be particularly important for VR experiences to be beneficial in sport ssettings (Gray, 2019; Kittel et al., 2020). Psychological fidelity refers to the extent to which a virtual environment
recreates the perceptual-cognitive demands of the real task and evokes similar behaviors from the user as in thereal environment (Gray, 2019; Miller, 1954). In other words, clarifying what aspects of psychological fidelity
VR brings to the user is essential for understanding the effectiveness of the VR experience. Therefore, it isnecessary, as a prerequisite, to know the perceptual-cognitive characteristics during decision making that should
be reproduced in sports. Decision-making has been studied as a perceptual-cognitive skill in sports science(Willams and Jackson, 2019). The main findings are as follows: in addition to making decisions faster and moreaccurately than unskilled players (e.g., Diaz et al., 2011; Helsen and Pauwels, 1993; Roca et al., 2011; Stratton
et al., 2004; Wein, 2004), skilled players with superior decision-making capability demonstrate more efficientvisual search behavior for gathering distributed multiple information such as ball and players on the field (CañalBruland et al., 2011; Mann et al., 2019; North et al., 2009; Roca et al., 2011; Vaeyens et al., 2007a, b; Williams
et al., 1994); they can recognize and recall a large amount of multiple information as a meaningful pattern quickly(Didierjean and Marmèche, 2005; van Maarseveen et al., 2015, 2016; Gorman et al., 2013; Ward and Williams
2003); and they can predict the next unfolding events based on the pattern information (North and Williams,
2019). More recently, it has been reported that in decision-making situations, skilled athletes can emerge from alarge number of different alternatives that are creative (rare and surprising) or appropriate and useful in aparticular situation, based on information obtained through their superior visual search (Roca et al, 2018, 2021a,b). Thus, skilled decision-making is underpinned by the process of gathering and extracting essential information,and by the process of generating multiple promising alternatives and making the best choice among them. In
other words, for VR to be a facilitating decision-making experience with high psychological fidelity, it requires
an environment that enables information gathering and choice generation, similar to a real situation.
Certain VR increase the psychological fidelity of these processes. In invasive sports, such as soccer andbasketball, decisions are made by gathering information spread over a large, 360-degree, depth-rich space. Whenrecreating such scenes, the video images and coaching boards that are frequently used in actual coachingsituations are displayed in a scaled-down 2D format, and the player usually observes them from a third-person
perspective. In VR, however, a large 360-degree virtual space is represented in 3D and the player observes froma first-person perspective. These differences are expected to have a significant impact on exploratory behavior
during information gathering. Several researchers have reported that exploratory behavior, moving the head
before receiving a ball, was associated with more successful performance in soccer (Eldridge et al., 2013; Jordet
et al., 2013). When a monitor/white board (i.e., 2D video/coaching board) is set up in front of a player, allinformation on player placement can be perceived with only a slight eye movement. In VR, on the contrary, it isnecessary to move the eyes, head, and body in the same way as in a real situation to collect information, thereby
limiting the information that can be gathered at the time of gaze orientation. Pagé et al. (2019), who showed theeffectiveness of VR-based decision training, suggested that VR visual scenes on head mount display in whichhead movements are linked to visual scenes, may be more effective than video images because of the greater
coupling between participant movement and acquired visual information. In addition, Mann et al. (2009) reported
differences in visual search between the first- (i.e., player perspective) and third-person (i.e., aerial perspective)
views when soccer players were asked to observe and make decisions. Interestingly, these differences inperspective led to differences in decision making, with the aerial perspective seemingly leading to more accurate
decision making (see also, Roca et al., 2018). In other words, the differences in exploratory behavior between
2D video and 3D VR are likely to influence the differences in the gathered information and option generation
based on that information. However, it is not clear exactly what kind of difference in decision-making they
produce. If the generated options are different, then 3D VR, which offers more realistic exploratory behavior,would be a useful tool to provide a better experience beyond its traditional use in the field (i.e., 2D video/board).
Therefore, this study investigated the differences in option generation for tactical decision -making between a thirdperson 2D video reproducing tactical scenes typically used in decision-making practice and observing the same tacticalscenes in a first-person VR environment. We also examined skill-related differences in this impact. To this end, we
first assessed the decision-making ability of individual soccer players using a soccer decision -making test used indecision-making research (Vaeyens et al., 2007a, b) and assigned them to groups. Next, we asked participants toobserve a tactical scene presented in 2D video and 3D VR and to generate and verbally report as many options as
possible that would be effective in the observed situation. Verbal report protocols help measure the ways in which
performers translate information from the visual system into appropriate cognitive processes and behaviors, thus
providing deeper insight into the processes that mediate and link perception and tactical decision-making (Roca et al.,2021). A previous study found that better decision-makers have the ability to produce more options (i.e., higher
fluency) and generate a greater number of verbal reports of thoughts related to goal scoring (Roca et al., 2018, 2021).

Therefore, in this study, we compared the quantity (number of generated options) and quality (more goal-directedplay) of generated options across conditions to investigate the effect of different presentation condition s on decisionmaking. In the case of 2D, the number of generated options is expected to be large because information is easily
obtained, whereas in the case of 3D, decisions with higher priority (options toward the goal) are expected to be mademore because players will try to make decisions that are closer to real situations. Furthermore, this tendency is likely
to be more pronounced in those with a higher decision-making capacity.
2. Methods
Participants
Twenty-seven male soccer players from university soccer clubs participated in this study. Participants’ playing levels
ranged from national-level players who had participated in national tournaments in high school or regularly played innational tournaments at the university level to those who had never played in a national tournament and were currently
playing mainly in regional or prefectural leagues. The 27 participants trained for one to two hours per session at least
five times a week over a long period of time to improve their competitive performance. All participants were informedof the experimental procedures in advance and consented to participate in the study. This study was approved by the
Ethical Review Committee of the administering institution.
Experimental task and apparatus
Decision-making test: First, a decision-making test was conducted to assess the participants' decision-making ability.
The test was based on previous research (Vaeyens et al., 2007a, b). Participants observed 2D video clips of offensive
patterns of play near the penalty area and were required to quickly and accurately decide what action the ball carrier
should take in that scenario (e.g., to shoot at goal or pass to a particular team mate). The clips showed sequences ofplay by skilled players who were filmed in each scenario, either acting as defenders or attackers. When filming theclips, players were instructed in which direction they should run, and whether the offensive player should be closelymarked by a defender (or not) throughout the clip. All scenarios were filmed from an elevated perspective(approximately 2.3 m above the ground) 3 m behind the center of the field. Defensive and offensive players wore red
and white uniforms, respectively. Furthermore, one of the offensive players in the central posit ion wore a yellow
uniform. The participants were required to imagine themselves as the player wearing the yellow uniform.
The video clips consisted of attacking scenes that were either 2-versus-1 (that is, 2 attackers [one is a yellow player]
versus. One defender), and 3-versus-1, 3-versus-2, 4-versus-3, and 5-versus-3. In addition to the attackers anddefenders, a goalkeeper on the defending team was included in all conditions. The players’ positions varied in eachsituation. Each sequence of play lasted approximately 5 s (range = 3.0–7.3 s), with the clips occluded at the moment
when the yellow player received the ball (Vaeyens et al., 2007a, b). The appropriate response (i.e., correct answer) ineach situation was determined by the consensus of three soccer coaches licensed by the Japan Football Association
who viewed and discussed each clip. Possible responses included passing the ball to a particular teammate (the actual
player must be nominated), shooting, or maintaining the possession of the ball. Ps ychological experimental design
software (E-prime 2.0, Psychological Software Tools) was used to create the experimental tasks and present the stimuli.
The stimuli were presented on a 65-inch monitor (TH-65PB2J, Panasonic; refresh rate = 60 Hz).
Option generation task: After watching a soccer scene, participants were asked to verbally respond to as many play
options as possible in that situation. Participants were presented with a third -person perspective of 2D video or witha first-person perspective of 3D VR scenes of dynamic, 7-versus-7 soccer situations that allowed for a variety ofpossible options (Figure 1). The presented situations were 20 scenes that were selected as typical decision -making
scenes with the consent of one college soccer player and two college soccer coaches who watched 7-versus-7 gamescenes. Each stimulus lasted approximately 10 s and was occluded after a 3 s pause at a critical moment (i.e., themoment the participant received a pass from a teammate, a situation in which a variety of tactical options wereavailable). The movements and positions of the players and ball in both stimuli were identical. In the 2D video, theplayers of the two teams and the ball were presented as figures of different shapes to reproduce magnets like thos eused on a strategy board (Figure 1A). In 3D VR, the players are represented by triangle columns, and the ball is asoccer ball game object (Figure 1B). In the 2D video condition, one player was circled in red at the beginning of thevideo, and participants were asked to view the video assuming that the player circled in red was themselves (i.e., they
made a decision when the player circled in red received the ball). In the VR condition, the view from the position of
the player receiving the ball was presented (i.e., the ball reached the participant at the end).
The positional coordinates of the players used in the stimulus were measured with LPS (ZXY Sports Tracking,Chyronhego, New York, USA) at a sampling frequency of 20 Hz during the 7-versus-7 game mentioned above. A belt

with a sensor (approx. 20 g) under their uniform was attached for each player to record the coordinates. The positionof the ball was extracted from the video camera images surrounding the pitch using a custom -made MATLAB program(Mathworks ver. 2018b, New York, USA). For the 2D video presentation, a MATLAB program was used to create amovie using the above coordinate data. For the 3D VR presentation, a Unity program (KAIBUTSU lab for soccer,
KAIBUTSU, Nagasaki, JAPAN) was used to reproduce the soccer scene by loading the time-series data of thecoordinates of the players and the ball. The virtual environment consisted of a soccer stadium with a soccer field andregular-sized goal.
Stimuli were presented on a 65-inch monitor (TH-65PB2J, Panasonic; refresh rate = 60 Hz) in the 2D video condition.
In the 3D VR condition, an HTC Vive head-mounted display VR system (HTC Corporation, New Taipei City, Taiwan)
was used for the experiment. The system consisted of a headset and two lighthouses that emit infrared laser sweeps
to localize the headset. HTC Vive has excellent spatial and temporal precision (Borrego et al., 2018; Niehorster et al.,2017). Participants wore the Vive headset to view the virtual environment and attempted to verbalize t he options theycame up with immediately after occlusion of the scene.

Procedure
Decision-making test: Participants performed the decision-making test while standing in front of a monitor. We asked
participants to make their decisions as quickly and accurately as possible once the ball was played in the direction of
the yellow player. We asked participants to respond with a single button press at the moment they decided their action
to measure the time taken to make a decision. We occluded the film sequence immediately after the button press toprevent participants from changing their response after receiving additional information after the button press, but
before verbally reporting their decision.
The participants first performed five practice trials to familiarize themselves with the experimental setting. Next, we
presented 34 offensive patterns: three 2-versus-1, ten 3-versus-1, six 3-versus-2, six 4-versus-3, and nine 5-versus-3
situations, following previous studies (Vaeyens, 2007a, b). The order of the video clips was randomized. The interval
between trials was approximately 30 s, and participants completed the entire test session in approximately 30 min.
Option generation task: Participants performed the option generation task after fitting the VR head -mounted display.
We asked participants to verbally report as many play options as possible in that situation after receiving the passfrom their teammates in the VR space. Participants first performed six practice trials for familiarization with thevirtual environment. Next, we presented 20 soccer scenes. The order of the pr esented scenes was randomized. Theinterval between trials was approximately 10 s, and participants completed the entire test session in approximately 30
min.
Dependent variables and data analysis
First, decision time and correctness were evaluated in each trial of the decision test to classify the participants into

groups based on the results of the decision test. For the decision time evaluation, we ranked the decision time of allparticipants in each trial, and the average ranking of all 34 trials was u sed as the participant's score. For correctness,each participant was ranked based on the percentage of correct responses, and this ranking was used as the participant'sscore. These two scores were summed and the participants were classified into three gr oups (high-, medium-, or lowdecision capability), with nine participants in each group.
Next, we evaluated the number of play patterns generated by the participants and the quality of play in both the 2D
video and 3D VR conditions. To evaluate the quality of play, first, two coaches with a Japan Football Associationcoaching license evaluated whether the play patterns reported by the participants were options that directly led to thegoals. It has been reported that soccer is a game of thinking about the situation in front (attacking direction) andmoving forward, and that reducing passes to the side and back and advancing the ball forward leads to scoring
opportunities (Bate, 1988). Based on this, in this study, two coaches separately scored each play reported by theparticipants as follows: 2 points for a play that could lead to a goal or an assist, 1 point for a play that could change
the situation, and 0 points for a play that was less likely to change the situation. The correlation between the scores o f
the two instructors for each trial was r = 0.87 (2D video) and r = 0.92 (3D VR) (Figure 2). From these results, it canbe concluded that the evaluation criteria for the two coaches were almost identical. Therefore, we evaluated the qualityof play by taking the average of the two coaches as the score and dividing it by the number of generated play patterns.
In other words, the higher the score, the higher the quality of the play, which directly leads to goal scoring. The
number of option generations and quality score data were subjected to a 3 (group: high-, medium-, or low-decision
capability group) × 2 (stimulus presentation type:2D video and 3D VR) ANOVA. Degrees of freedom for F -ratios
were adjusted using the Greenhouse–Geisser procedure if violations to sphericity were encountered. All post-hoc
pairwise comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni test. Effect sizes were estimated using the partial eta squared measure ( ηp2). Statistics were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The significance le vel was set at 5%.

3. Results
Analysis of variance for the number of option generations (Figure 3A) showed no significant interaction ( F (2, 24) =0.83, p > .05, ηp2 = .06) and no significant main effects of group (F (2, 24) = 0.32, p > .05, ηp2 = .03) or stimulus
presentation condition (F (1, 24) = 1.85, p > .05, ηp2 = .07). In other words, the type of stimulus presentation did not
produce quantitative differences in option generation. This result was similar for all groups with different decision making abilities.
Next, an analysis of the option quality score (Figure 3B), which reflects the quality of the generated options, showedthat while there was no main effect of group (F (2, 24) = 0.16, p > .05, ηp2 = .01), there was a significant main effectof stimulus presentation type (F (1, 24) = 9.86, p < .01, ηp2 = .29). In other words, the results indicated higher scoresfor 3D VR videos than for 2D videos.

4. Discussion
This study investigated the differences in option generation for tactical decision-making between the types of stimulus
presentation (i.e., third-person 2D video and a first-person VR environment). We also examined whether the impactof these differences on decision-making varies with the level of decision-making ability. No significant difference
was found in the number of generated options in the decision-making situation between the stimulus presentation
types, but in terms of the quality of the options, regardless of the skill level, it was found that the participants generate dmore goal-scoring directed options in the 3D VR. These results suggest that 3D VR may be a useful tool for inducing
the exact perceptual-cognitive processes (i.e., higher psychological fidelity) involved in decision -making.
The most striking finding was that the generated options differed depending on the type of stimulus presentation, eventhough the participants observed the same exact tactical situation. In this study, based on the idea that soccer is a gamein which fewer passes to the side or back and more forward movement of the ball lead to scoring chances (Bate, 1988),
we assigned higher scores to participants' verbal responses when they were judged to lead to goal scoring. As a result,regardless of skill level, the participants demonstrated higher scores in the 3D VR than in the 2D video. That is, theygenerated more goal-scoring directed options in 3D VR.
One reason for this may be the high psychological fidelity of exploratory behaviors in 3D VR. It has been shown that
information exploration behavior varies with the number of players (Vaeyens et al., 2007a), perspectives (Mann et al.,2009), or dimensions (Put et al., 2014) of the presented stimuli and methods, and differences in gaze behavior anddifferences in the content of the collected information have been reported to influence de cision making (Mann et al.,2009; Roca et al., 2018). As described in the introduction, 3D VR in this study is characterized by the fact that
information is gathered by moving the eyes, head, and body, unlike in 2D video. Owing to this feature, all informa tionon the pitch can be easily obtained in a short time in 2D video, whereas in 3D VR, the load of information collection
is higher and the same amount of information cannot be obtained in the same amount of time. Such temporalconstraints are thought to alter gaze behavior (e.g., Navia et al., 2017). Furthermore, Musclus et al. (2021) reported
that the presence of time constraints leads to the generation of fewer but higher -quality decision options than theabsence of time constraints (see also, Musclus, 2018). Johnson and Raab (2003) proposed the Take-the-First heuristic
strategy in decision-making (see also, Raab, 2012). Accordingly, players generate options in the order of validity(search), stop after two to three options (stop), and select one of the initial options generated (decision). Considering
the above, it is possible that due to the high load (time constraints) of exploratory behavior in 3D VR, the participants
could be focused on high-priority information (information to lead them to the goal), and as a result, more attacking
options might be preferentially reported. In contrast, additional information than usual, such as 2D video, may haveresulted in different tactical decision-making options being reported preferentially than in the actual situation.
Furthermore, the heuristics view seems to fully explain the lack of difference in the number of generated options
between conditions in the present study (the number of reported options were actually around 2 -3). Importantly, in

real-world decision-making under time constraints, not all pitch information is necessarily available during play.
Therefore, 3D VR, which induces such exploratory behavior, is beneficial because of its high psychological fidelity
to the decision-making process. However, this study did not examine specific changes in information gathering due
to differences in exploratory behavior. In the future, the causes of differences in decision making will become clearer
if the measurement of gaze behavior is included.
It is also possible that the characteristics of VR's high similarity and representativeness of visual information in real life situations also had an impact. The necessity of including visual information similar to real -world environments
has been emphasized for the assessment and training of perceptual-cognitive skills (Brunswik, 1956; Hadlow et al.,2018; Pinder et al., 2011; Travassos et al., 2013) because the stimuli become more similar to the real environment,
the advantage of skilled players over novices becomes more pronounced (Mori et al., 2002; Shim et al., 2005; Lynch
et al., 2019) and, the transferability of the training effect to real environments becomes higher (Hadlow et al., 2018).
This is because the perceptual-cognitive skills of skilled players are not based on basic abilities (e.g., simple reaction
time or visual acuity) but on domain-specific knowledge (e.g., play patterns) developed through past experiences(Williams et al., 1999). In other words, visual information must closely recreate the essential information that induces
this knowledge (e.g., the placement of the players in the game). Cognitive psychology research has shown that recall
is superior when the environment is the same as that in which learning takes place (Godden and Baddeley 1975).
According to this notion, the immersive feeling of being in the actual playing environment (e.g., stadium and/or soccer
field) provided by VR seems to be an important factor that influences memory recall. In other words, soccer players
who make decisions based on their memories of past pattern information may have had context -dependent memories
evoked in the VR environment, preferentially guiding their goal-directed decisions used in actual situations.
Thus, the decision options recalled on 2D video/coaching boards, which are frequently used in decision training inreal-life situations, appear to differ from those generated in 3D VR. These results suggest that VR has highpsychological fidelity beyond previous technologies and could be used for more effective decision evaluation andtraining. Common practice involves pausing play and allowing the instructor to correct the players’ decisions. Thismethod requires a lot of resources and can only be performed in a limited amount of time. To compensate for thislimitation, the use of 3D VR has certain advantages. In particular, it may contribute to improving the ability to generate
options that are directly related to the goal. Thus, the finding that VR training is more effective than video image
training in terms of transitions (Fortes et al., 2021; Pagé et al., 2019) may be because VR involves more realistic andflexible decision-making processes. In addition, we initially thought that these effects of 3D VR would be more
pronounced for those with higher skill levels, but this was not the case. In other words, the scope of VR use is not
limited to the skill level but could be effective at any level. However, a more detailed examination of gazemeasurement and decision-making processes, as well as controlled training experiments, are needed to confirm thesefindings.
