Focus Cues

A hearer-focus cue is a cue metacognitively available to a hearer indicating that her own current object of attention may be the speaker’s intended target. In the sequence leading to its use, the hearer first observably directs her attention to some phenomenon. This is her focusing behavior. The speaker then observes this behavior, determines the phenomenon she is focusing on, proceeds to perceive that phenomenon himself, and produces an utterance with a trigger to target it. On hearing the trigger, the hearer is alerted to look for cues to its target. She ends up accepting the possibility that her own focus of attention is the speaker’s intended target, especially if other cue categories are poorly represented. Parameters along which this procedure can vary include the sensory modality of the phenomenon that the hearer is focusing on; the hearer’s reason for focusing on it; whether the hearer does or does not anticipate the phenomenon

And Performance

Attentional focus research consistently suggests that the use of an external focus of attention improves motor learning and performance relative to an internal focus. It appears, however, that external focus cues are not frequently adopted in applied sport settings. One issue that may contribute to this disparity relates to variability in how cues are employed in research and practice. Experimental research tends to use a single-cue approach, while in sports, athletes often sample several cues within the same practice. A limitation of the single-cue approach is that attentional focus effects could be due either to focus direction (internal vs. external) or to the relative effectiveness of a particular cue (e.g. an effective externally focused cue vs. an ineffective internally focused cue). This study tested whether external focus benefits generalize to situations in which participants use multiple cues of the same type throughout acquisition. Volunteers ( N = 22) learned a dart throwing task while using three internally or externally focused cues. Results indicated an external focus led to lower error scores during acquisition and a delayed retention test ( p’s < .05). These results demonstrate that the external focus benefit generalizes to situations where a performer uses multiple cues.
