}The effect of focus of attention on heart rate and performance while performing the wall sit." (Fall 2013). i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe an immense amount of gratitude to my family and friends for continually supporting and encouraging me throughout this multi-year process. If it were not for the continual nagging and kind reminders from my parents from month to month I'm not sure if I ever would have finished. I also owe my girlfriend Hannah Mae Sinclair many thanks for organizing and setting up my…

Defining the Focus of Attention: Effects of Attention on Perceived Exertion and Fatigue

Experiment 2 showed that even in a highly fatiguing task, attentional strategies, and expectancies affected the time to failure and perceived exertion, suggesting that as fatigue/pain increase, bottom-up factors begin to dominate subjects’ attention.

Findings are in line with the constrained action hypothesis (G. Wulf, N. McNevin, & C. H. Shea, 2001), according to which an external focus promotes the use of more automatic control processes.

It is suggested that focusing on more distant effects results in enhanced learning by promoting the utilization of more natural control mechanisms, in line with a "constrained action" hypothesis.

The present experiment was designed to test the predictions of the constrained-action hypothesis, which proposes that when performers utilize an internal focus of attention they may actually constrain or interfere with automatic control processes that would normally regulate the movement, whereas an external focus of Attention allows the motor system to more naturally self-organize.
