Table 1.

Predicted performances on the different change detection tasks according to different natural attentional foci in functional tremor

Hypothesized natural attentional focus in functional tremor
Impaired ability to attend
Attend to motor execution Attend to visual feedback from movement Attend to target Attending away from task
Target jump/Target luminance Slightly worse than controls Slightly worse than controls Same as controls Worse than controls Worse than controls
Cursor luminance Slightly worse than controls Better than controls Same as controls Worse than controls Worse than controls
Added cursor deviation Better than controls Worse than controls Same as controls Worse than controls Worse than controls

Hypotheses about precisely where the attentional focus predominantly lies in functional tremor, make different predictions about their performance on the different spontaneous detection tasks. The control groups, particularly the healthy control participants, are expected to primarily focus on the target.
