Job Description
Missions
Mission
The research work in cognitive psychology, ergonomics, and/or cognitive sciences is part of the Mixson project, which aims to:
• Design a sonification tool for the tennis service gesture.
• Examine its effect on movement perception by both the coach and the player to optimize performance.
• Evaluate the shared acceptability of this tool by coaches and players to promote better integration into practice.
Expected objectives for the candidate:
• Conduct at least two studies to examine if the sonification tool is useful, usable, and acceptable both a priori and after use in standard training situations.
• Identify determinants of acceptability to adapt tool functionalities to user needs and expectations.
• Study classic predictors (ease of use, utility, attitude, subjective norms) as well as factors specific to high-level tennis (motivations, construction of a common reference framework, alignment with existing training practices).
• Utilize both qualitative (interviews, observations) and quantitative methods.
• Propose recommendations to guide the design and improvement of sonification tools.
Activity
• Conduct interviews and questionnaires assessing instrumental components (utility/usability) and non-instrumental components (values, motivations) of tool acceptance.
• Analyze training practices with and without the tool to measure user experience and appropriation.
• Develop acceptability and appropriation questionnaires.
• Test a model of acceptability factors for the sonification tool.
• Formulate design improvement recommendations.
