Performance improvements from imagery: evidence that internal visual imagery is superior to external visual imagery for slalom performance
We report three experiments investigating the hypothesis that use of internal visual imagery (IVI) would be superior to external visual imagery (EVI) for the performance of different slalom-based motor tasks. In Experiment 1, three groups of participants (IVI, EVI, and a control group) performed a driving-simulation slalom task. The IVI group achieved significantly quicker lap times than EVI an...
متن کاملTraining Visual Imagery: Improvements of Metacognition, but not Imagery Strength
Visual imagery has been closely linked to brain mechanisms involved in perception. Can visual imagery, like visual perception, improve by means of training? Previous research has demonstrated that people can reliably evaluate the vividness of single episodes of imagination - might the metacognition of imagery also improve over the course of training? We had participants imagine colored Gabor pa...
متن کاملIs visual imagery really visual? Overlooked evidence from neuropsychology.
Does visual imagery engage some of the same representations used in visual perception? The evidence collected by cognitive psychologists in support of this claim has been challenged by three types of alternative explanation: Tacit knowledge, according to which subjects use nonvisual representations to simulate the use of visual representations during imagery tasks, guided by their tacit knowled...
متن کاملVisual imagery facilitates visual perception: psychophysical evidence.
Visual imagery is the invention or recreation of a perceptual experience in the absence of retinal input.The degree to which the same neural representations are involved in both visual imagery and visual perception is unclear. Previous studies have shown that visual imagery interferes with perception (Perky effect). We report here psychophysical data showing a direct facilitatory effect of visu...
متن کاملVisual imagery and depersonalisation.
Twenty-eight people diagnosed with depersonalisation disorder (DD) were assessed using self-report measures of imagery ability in relation to a range of symptoms and in comparison with age- and sex-matched controls. It was found that symptoms of depersonalisation as well as other dissociative symptoms and depressed mood correlated with impaired ability to generate visual images. This was partic...
