Seiler, Roland; Wetzel, Jorg
Scientific Journal of Orienteering, v13 n1-2 p65-72 Aut 1997
A visual discrimination task was used to measure concentration among 43 members of Swiss national orienteering teams. Subjects were above average in the number of target objects dealt with and in duration of continuous concentration. For females only, ranking in orienteering performance was related to quality of concentration (ratio of correct to incorrect reactions). (SV)
