The neurocognitive process underlying attention switches between external (perception-based) and internal (memory-based) is poorly characterized. Previous research has found that when participants switch either two perception-based tasks (within-domain switches) or a memory- task (between-domain switches), substantial similar processing cost was observed compared to the repetition of same (Vers...

The influence of internal (movement focus) and external (outcome focus) attentional-focusing instructions on muscular endurance were investigated using three exercise protocols with experienced exercisers. Twenty-three participants completed a maximal repetition, assisted bench-press test on a Smith's machine. An external focus of attention resulted in significant (p < .05) improvements in perf...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consists of small nodes with constrain capabilities. It enables numerous applications with distributed network infrastructure. With its nature and application scenario, security of WSN had drawn a great attention. In malicious environments for a functional WSN, security mechanisms are essential. Malicious or internal attacker has gained attention as the most chal...

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...
