In her target article, Wulf reviews an impressive body of knowledge that has made a
significant contribution to our understanding of the influence of attentional focus on motor …

In this paper, we will comment upon Gabriele Wulf's article concerning the influence of
attentional focus on motor performance and learning. Whilst the adoption of a particular …

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 …

Wulf's review of the research carried out on attentional focus, motor performance and
learning highlights a number of issues for application and research. This commentary covers …

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 …

Research on attentional focus and motor learning seems to be conclusive: Directing
attention to distal effects of movements is superior to an internal focus. However, looking at …

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 …

Directing the attentional focus towards intended movement effects could enhance individual
performance. This meta-analysis examines the immediate effects of an instructed external …

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 …

External focus (attention to the movement effect) has been found effective in motor
performance and learning. However, while some investigators have suggested that the …
