Researchers Demonstrate That External Attentional Focus Improves Postural Stability In Patients With Parkinson DiseasePhysical Therapy
This suggests that learning of movement form/technique did not benefit from a specific focus of attention. The results are interpreted via an attentional capacity viewpoint and the notion that form tasks do not always contain obvious movement effects central to common coding and the constrained ...
focus of attention, motor learning, stabilometerThis study examined individual differences in the preference for and effectiveness of the type of attentional focus for motor learning. In two experiments, participants practicing a balance task (stabilometer) were asked to find out whether focusing on ...
This suggests that participants jumped higher by producing greater forces when they adopted an external focus. These findings indicate that the previously shown benefits of an external attentional focus generalize to tasks requiring maximal force production 展开 ...
Furthermore, subjects differ for task-specific preferences toward the internal or the external attentional focus, presenting with better performance only when the preferred focus is adopted28,29,30,31,32. The question is whether the placebo effect in motor performance is differently modulated by the...
Specifically, we discuss the lack of consideration towards translational research in this area, the problematic nature of attentional focus cues employed, interpretation of findings in relation to other applied recommendations and coherence with mechanistic underpinning and finally, the representative nature ...
Compared to low speech anxious individuals, high speech anxious individuals showed an internal attentional bias, that was specific to conditions of social-evaluative threat. 展开 关键词: Social phobia Self-focus Faces Selective attention DOI: 10.1016/S0005-7967(02)00029-3 被引量: 304 ...
future research should look into the evolvement of strategies and their relationships to WM performance measures over a longer term. If the Strategy Mediation hypothesis will gain further support, it could be time for a new strategy-based focus on memory training, bringing it back to its roots ...
attentional focusThe influence of internal (movement focus) and external (outcome focus) attentional-focusing instructions on muscular endurance were investigated using three exercise protocols with experienced exercisers. Twenty-three participants completed a maximal repetition, assisted bench-press test on ...
In the context of these findings the question arises, whether the feeling of presence can be influenced by applying tDCS to brain areas known to be involved in the control of presence. In this study we focus on the dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), which is known to be involved in...
