Considerable research over the past decade has produced overwhelming evidence to
support the motor learning advantage associated with an external focus of attention. Despite …

Considerable evidence supports the motor learning advantage associated with an external
focus of attention; however, very few studies have investigated attentional focus effects with …

Purpose: Considerable research supports the motor-learning advantage associated with an
external focus of attention; however, very few studies have attempted to generalize these …

Recently, researchers have concluded that motor skill performance is enhanced when
learners adopt an external attentional focus, compared to adopting an internal focus. We …

Recent evidence supports advantages of an external focus of attention on learning motor
skills, however, there is a need to retest these finding for children and comparing them with …

The study tested whether age, sex, or task complexity moderate the effect of attentional focus
on motor learning. Children (24 boys, 24 girls) and adults (24 men, 24 women) were …

Purpose: A large pool of evidence supports the beneficial effect of an external focus of
attention on motor skill performance in adults. In children, this effect has been studied less …

Substantial research has demonstrated that an external (vs. internal) attentional focus
enhances motor performance among various populations. Interest has recently grown in …

Background and purpose: Attentional focus cues have been shown to impact motor
performance of adults and children. Specifically, an external focus of attention results in …

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 …
