Effects of External and Internal Focus of Attention in Motor Learning of Children Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of study was to examine the effects of external and internal focus of attention in the motor learning of children with cerebral palsy. The study involved 30 boys (7 to 12 years old) with CP type 1 who practiced throwing beanbags. The participants were randomly assigned to the internal focus, external focus, and control groups, and performed six blocks of 10-trial with attentional fo...
متن کاملAn external focus of attention enhances motor learning in children with intellectual disabilities.
BACKGROUND The present study examined whether the learning benefits of an external focus of attention (i.e., on the movement effect) relative to an internal focus (i.e. on the movement), found previously in non-disabled children and adults would also be found in children with intellectual disabilities (IDs). METHODS Participants (n = 24; average age: 12.2 years) with mild intellectual deficie...
متن کاملFrequent External-Focus Feedback Enhances Motor Learning
The present study examined the hypothesis that feedback inducing an external focus of attention enhances motor learning if it is provided frequently (i.e., 100%) rather than less frequently. Children (10- to 12-year-olds) practiced a soccer throw-in task and were provided feedback about movement form. The feedback statements, provided either after every (100%) or every third (33%) practice tria...
متن کاملEffect of internal versus external focus of attention on implicit motor learning in children with developmental coordination disorder.
UNLABELLED Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) struggle to learn new motor skills. It is unknown whether children with DCD learn motor skills more effectively with an external focus of attention (focusing on impact of movement on the environment) or an internal focus of attention (focusing on one's body movements) during implicit (unconscious) and explicit (conscious) motor ...
متن کاملExternal focus of attention and autonomy support have additive benefits for motor performance in children
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the combined effects of external focus instructions and autonomy support on motor performance of children. In addition, we sought to provide evidence for an increased focus on the task goal under the external focus condition by using an inattentional blindness manipulation. Design: Within-participant design. Method: Thirty-six children (mean ...
