Effect of task-relevant cues and state anxiety on motor performance
Perceptual and Motor Skills
|July 17, 2001
Abstract:
12 experienced, female trampolinists participated in a field study designed to test the conscious processing hypothesis, which predicts that the combination of task-relevant knowledge and high state anxiety will impair motor performance. Results supported the hypothesis; however, an alternative attentional explanation of the data was also identified.
