Attentional focus and performance anxiety: Effects on simulated race-driving performance and heart rate variability

Previous studies have demonstrated that an external focus can enhance motor learning compared to an internal focus. The benefits of adopting an external focus are attributed to the use of less effortful automatic control processes, while an internal focus relies upon more effort-intensive consciousl...
