A Theory of Challenge and Threat States in Athletes (2009, background): “That is, the athlete consciously focuses on controlling the execution of a motor skill, which in turn results in poorer performance (Masters & Maxwell, 2008 ).”
Reinvestment, task complexity and decision making under pressure in basketball (2015, positive): “In line with previous work examining choking in the motor skill domain (see Masters & Maxwell, 2008), significant decrements in decision accuracy from low pressure to high pressure were only observed in the more complex task.”
Mindfulness and acceptance approaches to sporting performance enhancement: a systematic review (2017, background): “Reinvestment is another process by which performance decrements can be accounted for by unhelpful shifts in attention (Masters & Maxwell, 2008).”
Choking interventions in sports: A systematic review (2017, background): “Masters’ conscious processing hypothesis (or Reinvestment theory as mentioned recently; Masters & Maxwell, 2008) indicates that anxiety encourages attention to shift from task-relevant information toward explicit rule-based knowledge for further conscious controlled processes.”
Does the Attentional Focus Adopted by Swimmers Affect Their Performance? (2011, neutral): “, “conscious processing hypothesis” [28]; “constrained action hypothesis” [14]; “explicit monitoring” [29]).”
Mindfulness to Enhance Athletic Performance: Theoretical Considerations and Possible Impact Mechanisms (2012, neutral): “knowledge (Masters and Maxwell 2008).”
Quiet Eye Training: Effects on Learning and Performance Under Pressure (2010, background): “However, as we did not assess the number of explicit rules generated by both groups ( Masters & Maxwell, 2008 ), it is not possible to determine if QE training does act to reduce the accrual of explicit knowledge (cf.”
Refining and regaining skills in fixation/diversification stage performers: the Five-A Model (2011, neutral): “Bargh & Cartrand (1999); Beilock & Carr (2001); Hill, Hanton, Matthews, & Fleming (2010); MacPherson et al. (2008); Masters (1992); Masters & Maxwell (2008).”
Choking in sport: a review (2010, background): “This often leads to choking, as working memory is unable to manage any additional demands placed upon it, resulting in slower processing of task-relevant information and increasing numbers of performance errors (Masters & Maxwell, 2008).”
The role of working memory in sport (2010, background): “In this respect, Masters (1992; or Masters and Maxwell ( 2008 ) for a recent review) proposed within reinvestment theory that the reinvestment of attentional resources to an automized skill results in dechunking of the movement as a whole into smaller independent units resembling a similar represe”
Effects of Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) on Sport-Specific Dispositional Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, and Self-Rated Athletic Performance in a Multiple-Sport Population: an RCT Study (2019, background): “In addition, selffocused attention on automatized movements and a deliberate attempt to control them have also been associated with decreases in sport performance (see Masters and Maxwell 2008, for an overview).”
Skilled Performers Show Right Parietal Lateralization during Anticipation of Volleyball Attacks (2023, background): “Performers may have reinvested attention into their perceptual performance akin to how anxious performers might detrimentally reinvest attention on their movements [63,71,72].”
