AbstractChildhood screen time is associated with both attentional difficulties (for television viewing) and benefits (in action video gamers), but few studies have investigated today’s pervasive touchscreen devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets), which combine salient features, interactive content, and accessibility from toddlerhood (a peak period of cognitive development). We tested exogenous and endogenous attention, following forty children who were stable high (HU) or low (LU) touchscreen users from toddlerhood to pre-school. HUs were slower to disengage attention, relative to their faster baseline orienting ability. In an infant anti-saccade task, HUs displayed more of a corrective strategy of orienting faster to distractors before anticipating the target. Results suggest that long-term high exposure to touchscreen devices is associated with faster exogenous attention and concomitant decreases in endogenous attention control. Future work is required to demonstrate causality, dissociate variants of use, and investigate how attention behaviours found in screen-based contexts translate to real-world settings.

Abstract. Although attention control accounts for a unique portion of the variance in working memory capacity (WMC), the way in which attention control contributes to WMC has not been thoroughly specified. The current work focused on fractionating attention control into distinctly different executive processes and examined to what extent key processes of attention control including updating, shifting, and prepotent response inhibition were related to WMC and whether these relations were different. A number of 216 university students completed experimental tasks of attention control and two measures of WMC. Latent variable analyses were employed for separating and modeling each process and their effects on WMC. The results showed that both the accuracy of updating and shifting were substantially related to WMC while the link from the accuracy of inhibition to WMC was insignificant; on the other hand, only the speed of shifting had a moderate effect on WMC while neither the speed of updating nor the speed of inhibition showed significant effect on WMC. The results suggest that these key processes of attention control exhibit differential effects on individual differences in WMC. The approach that combined experimental manipulations and statistical modeling constitutes a promising way of investigating cognitive processes.

Latihan mental diartikan sebagai latihan yang dilakukan atlet untukmeningkatkan fungsi berpikirnya agar dapat mengendalikan tubuh dantindakannya. Pelatihan mental merupakan latihan yang dilakukan untukmemperoleh ketahanan mental, sehingga dapat mencapai prestasi yang prima dalamsetiap pertandingan. Tahapan atau fase latihan mental terbagi menjadi tiga, yaitu : 1. Tahap pendidikan, 2. Tahap akuisisi atau Perolehan, 3. Tahap Pelatihan. Keterampilan psikologis atau mental yang dapat dikembangkan melalui metodependidikan dan latihan ada empat, yaitu: goal-setting, physical relaxation,thought/attention control, dan imagery. Pada makalah ini dibahas mengenai latihanmental dalam kajian olahraga, jenis-jenis latiahan yang digunakan, penelitian yangrelevan serta beberapa teori yang mendasari latihan mental.Makalah ini menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa dari bbagai penelitianmenunjukkan bahwa latihan imagery efektif untuk meningkatkan performa,meskipun pengaruhnya bersifat tidak langsung Sehingga pelatih diharapkanmenjadi konselor yang mampu memahami karakter atlet asuhannya dan bisamemberikan bimbingan yang konstruktif untuk membangun kesiapan dan kekuatanmental. Beberapa hal yang dibutuhkan oleh atlet adalah sebagai berikut: a. Givingencouragement than criticism, b. Respect, c. Realistic gol, d. Problem solving, e.Self awareness, f. Managing stres and emotion, g. Good interpersonal relation.

**The uploaded manuscript is still in preparation** In this study, we tested the relationship between visual arrays tasks and working memory capacity and attention control. Specifically, we tested whether task design (selection or non-selection demands) impacted the relationship between visual arrays measures and constructs of working memory capacity and attention control. Using analyses from 4 independent data sets we showed that the degree to which visual arrays measures rely on selection influences the degree to which they reflect domain-general attention control.

Within the determining factors of psychological performance, mental toughness is considered a multidimensional factor, comprising cognitive, affective, and behavioural components together with self-confidence, which is related to success in sports performance as well as psychological health and well-being. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between different factors composing mental toughness and age categories in young football players, in order to determine the presence of specific psychological skills in their formative progression. A total of 118 male players (16.91 ± 2.42 years old) completed the Spanish version by Cernuda (1988) of the original Psychological Performance Inventory (PPI) by Loher (1982, 1986). The results indicated significant differences in four variables (negative energy control, attention control, visual and image control, motivational level) on three different age categories, where the U19 category showed the best results for all the variables, decreasing afterwards in the semi-professional category. Significant correlations were established between mental toughness variables and age categories, where the age category variable was significantly correlated in a positive way with attention control, visual and image control, and motivational level. In the same line, the variable self-confidence correlated positively with negative energy control, attention control, motivational level, attention control, and positive energy. The assessment of psychological variables such as mental toughness, taking into account the formative stage, may be helpful for both coaches and players when selecting adequate mental skill training for improving competitive performance and sporting success, as well as for positive and healthy psychological development and well-being.
