LSAT Preptest 152, Section 2, Question 6

"Researchers studying athletes found that…"

Explanation

The researchers' findings suggest that athlete motivation impacts vision. This is attributed to the level of concentration on the activity itself, which is necessary for acute vision. We are looking for a response that correlates the athletes' motivation with the quality of their concentration during competitions, which is consistent with the researchers' findings.

A. The research does not address the importance of winning to athletes; it focuses on the correlation between love for the sport, concentration, and vision acuity. 


B. The findings do not suggest that athletes focused on winning lack concentration; rather, they imply that the type of concentration might be different or not as conducive to sharp vision. 


C. (Correct Response) This option is directly supported by the research findings, stating that athletes who play for the love of the sport concentrate more on the sport itself, which aligns with the provided explanation for sharper vision. 


D. The researchers do not discuss the possibility of multi-tasking concentration; they only compare the quality of concentration between two different motivational focuses. 


E. While this option may seem supported, it extends beyond the findings by suggesting a performance comparison, whereas the research only discusses the correlation between motivation, concentration, and vision.
