The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of an external focus of attention on the
learning of dart throwing at three different focus reminder frequencies (every two, every four …

The present investigation studied the effect of focus of attention and type of practice on self-
efficacy and learning during a demonstration of the dart-throwing skill. 48 university students …

Novice darts throwers completed a dart‐throwing task using either control (no additional
instruction), external, or internal attentional focusing instructions. Ratings of the experience …

The aim of this study was to investigate the interactional effect of instruction type of attention
focus and two methods of learning (errorless and errorful) on performance and learning of …

This study aimed at examining the effect of different focus of attention instructions and
cognitive styles on the learning of dart throwing skill. 80 children were randomly selected …

Adults benefit more from external focus than internal focus when learning a new motor skill.
Because learners from different age groups use different learning strategies, the purpose of …

The present study examined the effectiveness of distal versus proximal external foci of
attention as a function of performers' preferences for a certain focus. We used a dart …

Many research studies have shown the advantages of an external focus of attention (FOA)
on motor performance and the benefits of learning with an external FOA. For example …

Research suggests an external focus of attention positively affects motor learning more than
an internal focus; however, little research has considered this relationship in motor control …

Previous research postulates that during motor performance and learning, an external
attentional focus (EAF) is more effective than an internal attentional focus (IAF) …
