The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning effect of pattern recognition on a tennis net-player's anticipation. An experiment was conducted to determine whether the learning of pattern recognition with the film was significantly effective in improving the supped and accuracy of motor response to the film stimulus of the opposing passer's return. Subjects were 12 male beginners (less than 3 years experienced), 12 male intermediaries (3-8 years experienced), and 10 male advanced players (more than 8 years experienced). And the first two groups were given instrucitons and KR with the films in the learning session. The major results are as follows: 1) In the pre-learning reaciton time test to the film stimulus, the reaction time (the time from the impact to the moment of lifting a leg) of both the beginners and the intermediaries were significantly longer than that of the advanced. And no significant differences among three groups were found on the correct response rate in the film series of +8 (continue to show the film to the post-impact 8th frame). But in the film series of 0 (to the impact frame), both the beginners and the intermediaries showed significantly smaller values than the advanced. 2) During the learning session, the correct answer rates of both the beginners and the intermediaries on pass-lob and cross-straight anticipation were significantly increased. 3) In the post-learning reaction time test, the reaction time of both the beginners and the intermediaries were significantly shortened, and they showed smaller values thant the advanced. And the correct response rates of both groups in the film series of 0 were also significantly increased. 4) The learning effect of the intermediaries was significnatly greater than that of the beginners. These results suggest that the learning of pattern recognition with the film has a noticeable effect on improvement in anticipation and the speed and accuracy of motor response to the opposing passer's return.
