This study examined individual differences in the preference for and effectiveness of the type
of attentional focus for motor learning. In two experiments, participants practicing a balance …

Recent studies have demonstrated that the direction of attentional focus exerts a substantial
influence on motor performance. We argue that in well-learned skills, this variable might be …

Previous studies (eg, Wulf, Höß, & Prinz, 1998) have shown that motor learning can be
enhanced by directing performers' attention to the effects of their movements (" external …

Although there is general agreement in the sport science community that the focus of
attention (FOA) has significant effects on performance, there is some debate about whether …

Over the past 15 years, research on focus of attention has consistently demonstrated that an
external focus (ie, on the movement effect) enhances motor performance and learning …

We conducted two experiments to assess the effect attentional focus has on learning a
complex motor skill and subsequent performance under secondary task loading …

Attention and Motor Skill Learning explores how a person's focus of attention affects motor
performance and, in particular, the learning of motor skills. It synthesizes the knowledge …

Jackson and Holmes has a known internal objective? In other words, if the focus of attention
is not consistent with the assumed objective of the task, would the resulting performance be …

Considerable literature on the role of attentional focus in motor performance and learning
has accumulated for over two decades. We report the results of comprehensive meta …

Wulf and colleagues (eg,) have demonstrated that the adoption of an external focus of
attention is preferable for the learning of complex motor tasks. The present investigation …
