Research has shown that externally focused instruction and feedback has positive effects on
skill acquisition and performance outcomes among adults (Wulf, 2007, 2013). However, in …

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: External attentional focused instructions and feedback have shown to enhance
motor performance among adults, adolescents, and older children. This study examined …

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

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 …

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 …

There is emerging evidence that attentional focus instructions and feedback may help
children with motor learning. However, information relevant to learner characteristics …

The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of an external focus of attention (ie,
on the movement outcome) versus an internal focus of attention (ie, on the movement itself) …

The authors investigated the relative effectiveness of different attentional focus instructions
on motor learning in primary school children. In addition, we explored whether the effect of …

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