Thomas Simpson; Lorcan Cronin; Paul Ellison; Thomas Hawkins; Evelyn Carnegie; David Marchant – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
In physical education (PE), the use of instruction and feedback is central to children's motor skill learning. Recently, it has been identified that instruction, and feedback, which promote OPTIMAL theory motor learning factors (e.g., an external focus of attention, enhanced expectancies, and autonomy support) can enhance children's motor…

Schoenmaker, Jorine; Houdijk, Han; Steenbergen, Bert; Reinders-Messelink, Heleen A.; Schoemaker, Marina M. – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Effectiveness of motor interventions depends not only on learning content but also on the used teaching strategies. However, little is known regarding the application of teaching strategies in clinical practice. This study aimed to develop and assess psychometric properties of a new Dutch observational instrument to document teaching strategies:…

Thomas Simpson; Mitchell Finlay; Victoria Simpson; Ayoub Asadi; Paul Ellison; Evelyn Carnegie; David Marchant – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
An external focus of attention and autonomy support are identified as key factors to optimize motor learning; however, research in children is limited. Moreover, research has failed to examine these factors in ecologically valid motor learning settings, like physical education. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of external focus of…
