Document Summary
Internal: 1st person view, in your own skin a: external: 3rd person view, seeing yourself on tv, the primary scientific limitation: no compelling manipulation check, while essentially everyone agrees that many people can create mental images & mentally rehearse a physical movement there is no consensus method for documenting when or whether imagery actually has occurred. you can"t tell if someone else did it: hard to scientifically prove, indirect ask people if they did. The scientific evidence clearly demonstrates the value of imagery in learning and performing motor skills several studies have demonstrated effectiveness of imagery in basketball, football, swimming and karate: karate can"t measure effectively b/c btw two people, b ball & f ball: can"t measure effectively b/c team sport, maybe measure a specific skill, o"connor"s conclusions, mental practice is associated with faster learning of motor tasks, especially those tasks with a greater cognitive component.
