Choking interventions in sports: A systematic review (2017, background): “Experimental evidence supports the primary tenets of self-focus explanations (Beilock & Carr, 2001; Gucciardi & Dimmock, 2008; Jackson et al., 2006; Mesagno et al., 2009), however, recent qualitative choking investigations (e.g., Hill et al., 2010b; Oudejans et al., 2011) question the ubiquity of…”
A re-examination of choking in sport (2009, unknown): “Gucciardi & Dimmock, 2008 ; Mesagno, Marchant, & Morris, 2008 ) and it therefore warrants further attention.”
Choking in sport: a review (2010, background): “In an attempt to prevent skilled performers choking, Gucciardi and Dimmock (2008) examined the use of ‘process cues’ during pressurised performance.”
A Comparison of Different Pre-Performance Routines as Possible Choking Interventions (2010, methodology): “The use of relaxation techniques (see Williams & Harris, 2006, for an overview), and cue words or swing thoughts (see Gucciardi & Dimmock, 2008, and Jackson & Willson, 1999, for more information) have been suggested as sport psychology interventions with positive effects on performance, yet,…”
From processing efficiency to attentional control: a mechanistic account of the anxiety–performance relationship (2008, background): “Furthermore, other studies testing distraction versus self-focus accounts of choking in motor skill tasks have been more supportive of self-focus accounts (e.g., Beilock & Carr, 2001; Gucciardi & Dimmock, 2008; Masters, 1992).”
The theory of reinvestment (2008, unknown): “…Hardy, Mullen, & Martin, 2001; Mullen, Hardy, & Oldham, 2007; Pijpers, Oudejans, Holsheimer, & Bakker, 2003; Pijpers, Oudejans, & Bakker, 2005; Wan & Huon, 2005; Wilson et al., 2007), although not all of the work has been fully supportive (e.g., see Gucciardi & Dimmock, 2008; Mullen & Hardy, 2000).”
Mindfulness and acceptance approaches to sporting performance enhancement: a systematic review (2017, methodology): “Again, performance decrements could be induced in our golfer by asking her to dedicate attention to the steps required to make her putt (e.g. using cues ‘arms, weight, head’) rather than the characteristic of the putt as a whole (e.g. ‘smooth’; Gucciardi & Dimmock, 2008).”
