What is the video?
100
There were 20 participants.
What is the number of participants in the running study?
100
This model illustrates that intermediate levels of drive will cause optimal performance, but a low or high level will cause performance deterioration.
What is the Inverted U Model (Yerkes & Dodson, 1908)?
100
This moderator of choking that involves athlete’s were more likely to choke because they were susceptible to self-focusing under pressure.
What is "Self-Consciousness"?

The internal focus group was concentrating on their breathing and the external focus group was concentrating on the video.
What was the internal and external focus of the study?
200
The researchers were hoping to find a linear relationship between ______ and _______.
What is attentional focus and running economy?
200
theories state that pressure induced anxiety will occupy the athlete’s working memory (Sarason, 1988) and create a dual-task condition in which anxiety-related thoughts are processed alongside information required for skill execution.
What is Distraction Theory?
200
This moderator of choking denotes the athlete tendency to consciously control a well-learned skill under pressure.
What is "Dispositional reinvestment"?
200
Winner of the National Trashcan Basketball League

Participants were instructed to focus on a film clip on the monitor in front of them that depicted a simulated running competition on a track from the perspective of a runner.
What happened during the video condition?
300
This type of statistical analysis was conducted to analyze the data for the running study.
What is a repeated measures ANOVA?
300
propose that performance anxiety increases an athlete’s level of self-consciousness, which will cause them to focus their attention inwardly, consciously monitor and/or control their skill execution, and choke as a result (Baumeister, 1984).
What is Self-focus theory?
300
This is considered to be a result of the frequent and intense state anxiety response that athlete’s with high trait anxiety experience whilst under pressure, which overwhelms their working memory, causing processing inefficiency and encouraging choking.
What is "Trait anxiety and self-confidence"?
300
Systematic and consistent practice of mental/psychological skills for the purpose of enhancing performance, increasing enjoyment, or achieving greater sport and physical activity self-satisfaction.
What is Mental Skills Training?

What is running economy?
400
A significant difference was found between ________ and ________.
What is internal focus and external focus?
400
The established distraction theory and states that inefficient processing will affect performance, unless the athlete responds with increased effort.
What is Processing Efficiency Theory (PET)?
400
This "home field" advantage is recognized to be a moderator of choking but is unclear whether it is positive or negative.
What is "Presence of an audience"?
400
A negative emotional state associated with arousal.
What is Anxiety?

Questionnaires were assessed during the 10 minute break and ratings measured on a scale ranging from 6 to 20.
What was the manipulation check and how were ratings of perceived exertion assessed?
500
Results showed that VO2 (oxygen consumption) was _____ (lowest economy) in the _______ focus (______) condition.
What is highest and internal (breathing)
500
This hypothesis indicates that the deteriorated performance is a result of the athlete consciously controlling the skill execution.
What is Consciousness Processing Hypothesis (CPH; Masters, 1992)?
500
Is a construct has been used to manipulate choking in a range of academic and social setting.
What is "Stereotype threat"?
