Abstract
The purpose of the research was to investigate the effect of auditory focus of attention with high and low cognitive load on sports performance and working memory adolescent. The research was semi-experimental and included elementary and high school students of Kohnani city. The statistical sample was 20 students aged 11-13. In the pre-test, soccer chip shot was used. The acquisition stage was performed on 4 consecutive days. In the stages of delayed recall and transfer, n-back test and soccer chip kick were performed. The results showed that in the group of auditory focus of attention with cognitive high load, the effect of auditory focus of attention with high cognitive load on sports performance and working memory was significant (p≥ 0.01) and The group of auditory focus of attention with low cognitive load showed improvement only in working memory (p≥ 0.01). So Cognitive load manipulation has a positive effect on working memory and sports performance.

Abstract
Using auditory concurrent feedback with the goal of gaze path learning is one of the novelty methods in the attention field. The present study aimed to determine the effect of bisensory feedback using eye movement sonification on the decision-making of the badminton clear shot direction. In a Semi experimental strategy, with pre-post design without a control group and clinical method, participants performed recognizing the direction of the shot under unisensory and bisensory training conditions. Response accuracy, response time, and fixation duration were measured in the pre-test, immediate retention, and delayed retention. The results showed that in the immediate and delayed retention, the bisensory group had higher response accuracy and shorter response time than the unisensory group. The bisensory group had a longer fixation duration in key areas than the unisensory group in both times. The use of auditory feedback can probably be considered as a way to improve decision-making skills at the novice level.
