Without doubt, motor behavior is subject to a variety of social-cognitive-affective influences
(Lewthwaite & Wulf, 2010a). For instance, the instructions or feedback given to learners not …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Recent research has shown that internal (body-related) attention-focus
instructions disrupt motor learning and performance, whereas paying attention to the …

Research has repeatedly suggested that an external focus of attention is far superior to an
internal focus of attention in motor learning and performance. Such findings have been …

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 …

In this comment, the authors suggest to strengthen the theoretical basis for further research
of the effects of attentional focusing. In our understanding, the current constrained action …

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 …

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 …

Accumulating evidence suggests that instructions in-ducing an" external" focus ofattention
by directing learners' attention toward the effects oftheir movements enhance learning …

Attentional focus research consistently suggests that the use of an external focus of attention
improves motor learning and performance relative to an internal focus. It appears, however …
