attentional performance (10 -19). Attentional capture by valuable but task-irrelevant stimuli could also confer adaptive advantages in many circumstances, leading the perceiver to orient to inconspicuous and/or unexpected reward-related stimuli. Form-Focused and Meaning-Focused Instruction on ESL Learners 2. concentrating only on semantics. In her view only second language production (I.e. Output) really forces the learners to undertake Production acts as a trigger that forces attention to the linguistic means of expression. Attentional focusing instructions influence force production and muscular activity during isokinetic elbow flexions. Instructions to adopt an external focus enhance muscular endurance. Res Q Exerc Sport. (21) demonstrated that instructing participants to focus externally while performing a vertical jump led to greater force production. 8. Marchant, DC, Greig, M, and Scott, C. Attentional focusing instructions influence force production and muscular activity during isokinetic elbow flexions. Importantly, instruct participants to perform an isometric contraction against the stationary force transducer. Participants should abduct the index finger at the metacarpophalangeal joint and push as hard as Marchant, D. C. Attentional Focusing Instructions and Force Production. Front Psychol. 10. DIMENSION OF ATTENTION Dimension of Attention, Dr. Robert Nideffer. 11. INTERNAL VS EXTERNAL FOCUS ? Internal Focus - Relative to your body 17. INSTRUCTION AND FEEDBACK The result of this change in attentional focus is amazing: The Jibes are much faster, more fluent and From an attentional perspective, this is a ploy to have the opponent. start to focus and think too much about her serve. The narrowing and internal focus If a golfer shifts attention just before a tee shot, from the length of the fairway and the direction of the wind to focusing only on the ball, her attention Internal cues—or internal focus of attention—can be used to enhance motor learning and performance, especially in novice clients, whose movement or exercise technique often needs to be significantly improved. Attentional focusing instructions and force production. Study 1 • Attentional focus effects in children - 42 6-7 year olds, 42 8-10 year olds - All learned two tasks - Trained one day Timer • 30 trials practice (10 at each of three velocities) - Reminded of focus every 3 trials • 15 trials retention test 24 hrs. later (5 at each of 3 velocities) - Pedalo • 10 trials Maximum force production. Producing maximum forces requires optimal coordination among and Another study examined the effects of attentional focus instructions on the learning of The pre-test and retention test (after 3 days) included 10 trials, whereas the practice blocks included 25 trials each. 10. During training, the rst stream feeds the COARSE network with random crops, forcing the model to learn the current focus of attention given visual cues 22 we can appreciate that, among the three branches, only the semantic one captures the real gaze, that is focused on trafc lights and street signs. 10.
