External focus of attention (EFA) studies among children have yielded more equivocal results than have those among adults. Some investigators have found an internal focus of attention (IFA) advantage in children and have explained their results by children’s generally lower skill levels, compared to adults. According to the constrained action hypothesis, children’s lower skill levels are not yet associated with over-learned automatic movement patterns, so their motor performance is not disrupted by IFA instructions. In this study, our objective was to examine a possible interaction effect between children’s skill levels and their exposure to either IFA or EFA instructions on motor performance. Our participants were 40 10–15-year-old taekwondo competitors of higher and lower skill levels (based on both the participant’s experience and their test performance) who engaged in a taekwondo kicking movement before and after either IFA or EFA instructions. We found improved kicking performance with EFA versus IFA instructions only among less versus more skilled participants.

Tarkkaavaisuuden suuntaamisen ohjeiden merkitys etujalan sivupotkun suoritukseen 10–15-vuotiailla taekwondokilpailijoilla
Siltanen, Simo (2019)Valmentaja voi ohjata urheilijan tarkkaavaisuutta suorituksen aikana urheilijan kehon sisäpuolelle (IFA) tai ulkopuolelle (EFA). Monissa tutkimuksissa on saatu viitteitä siitä, että EFA-ohjeet olisivat yhteydessä parempiin ... -
Verbal counting skill predicts later math performance and difficulties in middle school
Koponen, Tuire; Aunola, Kaisa; Nurmi, Jari-Erik (Elsevier, 2019)This study examined the role of verbal counting skill as an early predictor of math performance and difficulties (at or below −1.5 standard deviation in basic math skills) in middle school. The role of fourth-grade level ... -
Intervention effects on low performing preschoolers' early mathematical skills : Adding fundamental motor skill practice as a supporting method
Jylänki, Pinja; Sääkslahti, Arja; Aunio, Pirjo (Elsevier BV, 2024)Background This study examined the effects of (1) combined early numeracy and fundamental motor skills (MovEN), (2) early numeracy, and (3) fundamental motor skills intervention programs on children's early mathematical ... -
Auditory P3a response to native and foreign speech in children with or without attentional deficit
Azaiez, Najla; Loberg, Otto; Hämäläinen, Jarmo A.; Leppänen, Paavo H.T. (Elsevier, 2023)The aim of this study was to investigate the attentional mechanism in speech processing of native and foreign language in children with and without attentional deficit. For this purpose, the P3a component, cognitive ... -
The Neuronal Source Activations Measured During ANT and Online Source Credibility Evaluation Skills of Sixth Graders with Typical Development, Reading Difficulties and Attentional Problems.
Uusitorppa, Senni (2023)Tarkkaavuuden vaikeuksia on todettu esiintyvän sekä tarkkaavuuspulmaisilla että lukivaikeuksisilla lapsilla. Pulmat tarkkaavuudessa voivat olla eri mekanismien kautta yhteydessä myös luetun ymmärtämisen vaikeuksiin, minkä ...
