Abstract
Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) struggle to learn new motor
skills. It is unknown whether children with DCD learn motor skills more effectively
with an external focus of attention (focusing on impact of movement on the environment)
or an internal focus of attention (focusing on one's body movements) during implicit
(unconscious) and explicit (conscious) motor learning.
