• Attentional focus and motor learning: a review of 15 years (2013, background): “We recently expanded the constrained action view (Wulf & Lewthwaite, 2010).”
• Does the Attentional Focus Adopted by Swimmers Affect Their Performance? (2011, background): “invoking trigger”; [16]) generally – that is, independent of the individual’s skill level – degrades motor performance by causing a more widespread, inefficient, activation of the muscular system.”
• External focus of attention and autonomy support have additive benefits for motor performance in children (2017, background): “An external focus is assumed to play a dual role by directing attention to the task goal and reducing a focus on the self (including body movements) or other off-task activity (see McKay, Wulf, Lewthwaite, & Nordin, 2015; Wulf & Lewthwaite, 2010).”
