Spatial Generalization in Operant Learning: Lessons from Professional Basketball
Figure 1
The spatial organization of learning.
A. The spatial distribution of all 759,050 FGs in our dataset. The basket is depicted by a white circle and the upper boundary is the half court line. The color codes for the number of FGs taken from each location in scale. The black lines delineate 16 regions used in subsequent analysis. B. The averaged learning matrix
, based on 161,302 FGs attempted by 166 players that passed our selection criteria (see Materials and Methods). C. Top, Dissimilarity matrix,
, computed based on the rows of the matrix
in B such that
is the Euclidian distance between the rows
and
of
; Middle, Hierarchical clustering of the matrix in B based on the dissimilarity between the rows (see Material and Methods); Bottom, the dissimilarity matrix ordered according to the dendrogram in the middle panel. D. same as in C for the columns of matrix
