Effects of Attentional Focus on Skilled Performance in Golf (2009, unknown): “Higher frequency adjustments are reflective of faster reflex loops, an increase in active degrees of freedom, and more automated, less jerky task execution (Vereijken, van Emmerik, Whiting, & Newell, 1992). Another explanation for the benefits of an external focus relative to an internal focus is re”
A Comparison of Different Pre-Performance Routines as Possible Choking Interventions (2010, background): “Recently, Hardy, Mullen, and colleagues (e.g., Hardy et al, 2001; Mullen et al., 2005) extended the distraction model by arguing that negative cognitions (e.”
From processing efficiency to attentional control: a mechanistic account of the anxiety–performance relationship (2008, result): “These results were similar to those of Mullen, Hardy, and Tattersall (2005) who also found that HRV was not able to distinguish between the attentional demands of two types of secondary task or the effect of an anxiety condition.”
