Effects of Internal and External Attention on the Preparation of Rhythmic Movements

The purposes of the present investigation were to study the effect of internal and external attentional-focus on the preparation of rhythmic movements. 24 novice girls and boys from P.E classes were divided into two intemal/external attentional-focus groups randomly. The task was key boarding that should execute with given timing. In acquisition phase and in retention and transfer tests, they practiced 60 trials and 15 trails respectively. The results of acquisition phase showed that there was significant interaction (P<.OO I) of group and block of trials and external group had better performance in the late of practice. The external attentional-focus also showed less timing error in retention and transfer phases (P<.OO I). In conclusion, the externally attention that focuses the performer on the preparation of rhythmic action facilitates the performance and learning.
