Abstract

With the present study we compared the use of motor imagery (MI) and visual imagery (VI) in estimating reach. There are indications that with MI there is a visual (action) processing advantage. Alternatively, one could speculate that due to a lifetime of experience with reaching within one's peripersonal space, the difference between imagery techniques would be minimal. Adult right-handers performed estimates of reach via VI and MI at multiple locations in peripersonal and extrapersonal midline space. Data analysis indicated a distinction in which participants were more accurate when using MI. In addition to the basic science nature of these findings, there are possible implications for imagery methodology used in sport and clinical settings.

通过视觉意象和运动意象估算到达距离

在本研究中，我们比较了运动想像法(MI)和视觉想像法(VI)在估计到达距离方面的应用。有迹象表明，MI具有视觉(动作)处理优势。或者，人们可以推测，由于一生的经验，达到一个人的周边空间，图像技术之间的差异将是最小的。成年右撇子通过VI和MI在近个人和超个人中线空间的多个位置进行了到达估计。数据分析表明，参与者在使用MI时更加准确。除了这些发现的基础科学性质外，还可能对运动和临床环境中使用的成像方法产生影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
