Increased movement accuracy and reduced EMG activity as the result of adopting an external focus of attention.
The performance and learning of motor skills has been shown to be enhanced if the performer adopts an external focus of attention (focus on the movement effect) compared to an internal focus (focus on the movements themselves) [G. Wulf, W. Prinz, Directing attention to movement effects enhances learning: a review, Psychon. Bull. Rev. 8 (2001) 648-660]. While most previous studies examining atte...
متن کاملAdopting an external focus of attention alters intracortical inhibition within the primary motor cortex
AIM Although it is well established that an external (EF) compared to an internal (IF) or neutral focus of attention enhances motor performance, little is known about the underlying neural mechanisms. This study aimed to clarify whether the focus of attention influences not only motor performance but also activity of the primary motor cortex (M1) when executing identical fatiguing tasks of the ...
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 کاملEffect of focus of attention on transfer of a postural control task following an ankle sprain.
STUDY DESIGN Randomized clinical trial. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of attentional focus instructions during training on the transfer of a learned balance capability to a more challenging condition among subjects with ankle ligament injury. BACKGROUND Current evidence suggests that instructions inducing an external focus of attention may be more effective at promoting learning than inst...
متن کاملThe pupil response reveals increased listening effort when it is difficult to focus attention
Recent studies have shown that prior knowledge about where, when, and who is going to talk improves speech intelligibility. How related attentional processes affect cognitive processing load has not been investigated yet. In the current study, three experiments investigated how the pupil dilation response is affected by prior knowledge of target speech location, target speech onset, and who is ...
