Julia Hussien; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The focus of attention literature has shown robust findings for the benefits of providing statements that focus on the movement effect or outcome (external focus of attention [EFOA]) as opposed to focusing on the movement kinematics (internal focus of attention). Observational studies, however, have revealed that physiotherapists use fewer EFOA…

Elodie Martin; David Trouilloud; Jessica Tallet – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
The principles of motor learning have been applied in neurological rehabilitation for years. The underlying assumption is that these principles that have been identified in research on healthy individuals would also apply to those with neurological disorders, making them highly relevant for rehabilitation. However, there is currently no tool…

The S-Shaped Performance Curve Prevails in Practicing Juggling
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Qiao, Mu – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
The development of performance, such as learning a new motor skill, can be represented in a performance curve. The shape of the performance curve is both of theoretical and practical relevance. Here, the author studied the interday performance of juggling over a period of 17 days in 112 college students. The results showed that 60% of participants…

The Path to Translating Focus of Attention Research into Canadian Physiotherapy, Part 4: Sequentially Linking Assessment Outcomes into a Chain of Evidence Supporting the Workshop
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Julia Hussien; Liza Khodko; Cooper Macdonald; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
In previous research, Canadian physiotherapists identified barriers to effective external focus promotion and recommended the delivery of a focus of attention workshop as a solution. Accordingly, the current research entailed the virtual delivery of such a workshop, consisting of asynchronous Website modules followed by a synchronous group…

Easy Task and Choice: Motivational Interventions Facilitate Motor Skill Learning in Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mousavi, Seyyed Mohammadreza; Iwatsuki, Takehiro – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Expectancies for success and autonomy support have been shown to facilitate motor learning and enhance motor performance. The purpose of the study was to examine whether we replicated (a) enhanced expectancies and autonomy support intervention enhanced motor skill learning in children, and (b) identified the underlying psychological mechanism.…

Development and Construct Validation of a Questionnaire for Measuring Affordances for Motor Behavior of Schoolchildren
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Flôres, Fábio Saraiva; Rodrigues, Luis Paulo; Cordovil, Rita – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Environments where children move about provide affordances that play a significant role in their development. This research presents the Affordances for Motor Behavior of Schoolchildren assessment tool, which aims to assess the interdependent systems, such as home, school, and sports activities, that can influence 6- to 10-year-old children's…
