Attentional focus affects movement efficiency
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 …

Optimizing rapid aiming behaviour: Movement kinematics depend on the cost of corrective modifications
Recent studies have shown that the initial impulse associated with goal-directed aiming
movements typically brings the limb to a position short of the target. This is because target …
