Attentional focus in endurance activity: new paradigms and future directions (2014, background): “The term external association in this case is drawn from research in the motor skill learning domain, and refers to attention directed on the effects of movements on the environment (see Wulf, 2013).”
External focus of attention and autonomy support have additive benefits for motor performance in children (2017, background): “…Shea, & Wulf, 2003), novices performing relatively complex tasks presumably benefit more from a proximal focus (e.g., Wulf, McNevin, Fuchs, Ritter, & Toole, 2000; for a discussion of the distance effect, see; Wulf & Prinz, 2001; Wulf, 2013), such as the path of the ball in the present study.”
