Background Implicit motor learning is considered to be particularly effective for learning
sports-related motor skills. It should foster movement automaticity and thereby facilitate …

Studies from the sport and human movement sciences have proposed that
electroencephalographic (EEG) measures of left-temporal alpha power and left-temporal …

Background Prosthetic hands impose a high cognitive burden on the user that often results
in fatigue, frustration and prosthesis rejection. However, efforts to directly measure this …

The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the behavioural improvements usually
associated with an external (EF) compared with an internal focus of attention (IF) remain …

Height-induced postural threat affects emotional state and standing balance behaviour
during static, voluntary, and dynamic tasks. Facing a threat to balance also affects sensory …

It has been suggested that implicit motor learning via dual-task or analogy training during
gait rehabilitation may yield better outcomes in older adults by reducing the propensity for …

Research highlights the detrimental effect that directing too much conscious attention toward
movement can have on postural control. While this concept has received support from many …

The meshed control theory assumes that cognitive control and automatic processes work
together in the natural attention of experts for superior performance. However, the methods …

Previous literature shows the beneficial effects of an external focus of attention on various
sports skills in young adults. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects …

Background The fear of falling, or mobility-related anxiety, profoundly affects gait, but is
challenging to study without risk to participants. Purpose: To determine the efficacy of using …
