Choking in sport: a review (2010, background): “Likewise, distraction is thought to affect detrimentally sporting tasks which rely heavily on decision making for their correct execution (see Williams et al., 2002).”
Anxiety and cognitive performance: attentional control theory. (2007, background): “The most direct evidence has come from studies using the probe technique (Eysenck, 1989; Eysenck & Payne, 2006; Hamilton, 1978; Murray & Janelle, 2003; A. M. Williams et al., 2002) and from use of fMRI (Santos et al., 2006).”
From processing efficiency to attentional control: a mechanistic account of the anxiety–performance relationship (2008, methodology): “This finding is robust whether the task is carried out in laboratory settings (Williams et al., 2002; Wilson et al., 2007a); using simulated tasks (Wilson et al.”
