DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2019.02198
Abstract: Sustained attention involves two distinct processes, i.e., external focus and internal focus. Some recent neuroimaging studies employed the instruction of experimenters or the self-report from participants to generate the two attentional processes, and observed that… read more here.
