When more is less: increasing allocentric visual information can switch visual-proprioceptive combination from an optimal to sub-optimal process.
When reaching for an object in the environment, the brain often has access to multiple independent estimates of that object's location. For example, if someone places their coffee cup on a table, then later they know where it is because they see it, but also because they remember how their reaching limb was oriented when they placed the cup. Intuitively, one would expect more accurate reaches i...
متن کاملEnhanced jump performance when providing augmented feedback compared to an external or internal focus of attention.
Factors such as an external focus of attention (EF) and augmented feedback (AF) have been shown to improve performance. However, the efficacy of providing AF to enhance motor performance has never been compared with the effects of an EF or an internal focus of attention (IF). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify which of the three conditions (AF, EF or IF) leads to the highes...
متن کاملProprioceptive Acuity Varies with Task, Hand Target, and When Memory Is Used
Participants completed a series of seven tasks to assess proprioceptive acuity of each hand. Proprioceptive localization was fairly accurate and precise. Constant error and precision differences were found as a function of the task, movement of the hand target, the hand being localized, and localization from memory.
متن کاملthe comparison effect of the distance of an external focus of attention on dynamic balance task
attention is one of the effective factors when learning and performing motor skills. focus of attention is a method to increase the efficiency and learning. previous studies have shown that focus of attention plays an important role in learning and performing motor skills. the purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of the instruction of far and near external focus of attention o...
متن کاملIs an External Focus of Attention More Beneficial than an Internal Focus to Ball Catching in Children?
The performance benefits of adopting an external relative to an internal focus of attention have been demonstrated for many different targeting and balance tasks. No study has examined attentional focus effects for interceptive motor skills. Also, the majority of studies have used adult participants. In this study, children (mean age: 8.75 years, SD=0.79; 15 girls, 9 boys) were required to catc...
