The article discusses how people make decisions in sports using different ways of thinking. Some believe athletes use mental pictures in their minds to decide, while others think athletes make choices based on their direct experiences. The researchers looked at two studies on sports decision-making and found that both ways of thinking have similarities and differences. They wanted to show that both approaches can help explain how athletes make decisions in sports.
