FILGUEIRAS, Alberto. Neuropsychological approach of the processes of orientation of the visuospatial attention and concentration maintenance on under-13 athletes of field soccer. Ciênc. cogn. [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.2, pp. 142-154. ISSN 1806-5821.

Abstract The visual attention and concentration are psychological valences that can be related to different neural ways and different cognitive processes. With this work, we intend to bring, in the light of Sports Sciences, the contribution of a single physical training session and a single mental training session for the improvement of visual attention and concentration. The results for the physical training session showed significant differences on concentration assessment, but no significant difference for bottom-up processes of visuospatial attention. However the results for the mental training session showed significant differences on both situations. © Cien. Cogn. 2010; Vol. 15 (2): 142-154.
