Deceptive actions are commonplace in daily life (e.g., cheating in a card game) and are also employed by experts in dueling encounters in order to gain a competitive edge in sports. Sports performers often disguise their true intent by minimizing or delaying movement features that convey genuine intent, or deceive their opponents by using misleading movements to prompt an inappropriate response. When deception is successfully employed, it impairs performance on the side of the perceiver, for example, a sports player reacts to the false intent conveyed by the movement. However, there are also costs associated with the production of deceptive actions, for instance, delayed movement onsets or reduced movement quality. This special issue considers the perspectives of both the perceiver and producer of deceptive movements.
The effectiveness of deceptive movements can be influenced by strategies that exploit expectations, for example, the congruence between an actor’s movements or action outcomes and the observer’s expectations derived from the situational context in which they occur. Moreover, perceptual context is also important – one can use inglorious actions or vocalizations to trick referees or opponents (e.g., crying out loud when being fouled). Initial research was driven by the question of whether and how deceptive actions influenced an opponent’s perceptual and motor responses. Accordingly, early work in various sport disciplines (e.g., cricket, rugby, martial arts, soccer, basketball) focused on how detection of deception was associated with competitive skill level (ranging from novices to elite athletes). In the last few years, research on deception in sports has progressed tremendously and questions about the underlying mechanisms (e.g., brain function, attentional control, perceptual strategies) and constraints (e.g., contextual information, instructions) that are at play in deceptive actions have become a focal point.
Dueling sports offer an excellent testbed for the study of expert production and perception of deceptive actions. Most researchers have focused on expert perception of deceptive intent. In other domains, such as the expert movements of magicians, researchers have focused on expert production of movements (e.g., ‘sleight of hand’) and attentional strategies (e.g., misdirection) with less emphasis on the expertise of the observer. In focusing on all forms of deceptive movements in humans, we aim to bring together leading researchers from different research areas to spark novel empirical and theoretical developments.
The scope of the research topic includes articles about deception and disguise in sports, examined from a human movement science perspective, including biomechanics, experimental psychology, neuroscience, skill acquisition, and motor control. The research topic includes rule breaches, that is, “illegal” actions such as diving in football and intentional misrepresentation in Para-sport classification. We also welcome empirical research that examines auditory deceptive actions such as grunts and other vocalizations that are aimed at manipulating an observer’s perception or response. Last, we welcome research on higher-level tactical deception and the broader topic of how congruence between actions and observer expectations influences performance.
