The purpose of this research was to amend the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ; Isaac, Marks, & Russell, 1986) in line with contemporary imagery modality and perspective conceptualizations, and to test the validity of the amended questionnaire (i.e., the VMIQ-2). Study 1 had 351 athletes complete the 3-factor (internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery) 24-item VMIQ-2. Following single-factor confirmatory factor analyses and item deletion, a 12…

Further validation and development of the movement imagery questionnaire.

This research validated and extended the Movement Imagery Questionnaire- Revised (MIQ-R) and demonstrated the MIQ-3's predictive validity revealing the relationships between imagery ability and observational learning use.

Abstract. A computer-based version of the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ-2) was tested and compared with the print version. Psychometric characteristics of the print version were…

French translation and validation of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-third version (MIQ-3f)

The MIQ-3f appears to be a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to assess imagery ability in French speakers and was supported by confirmatory factor analysis.

Translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the Spanish version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3).

Assessing vividness of mental imagery: The Plymouth Sensory Imagery Questionnaire.

The development and initial validation of the Plymouth Sensory Imagery Questionnaire (Psi-Q) is reported, comprising items for each of the following modalities: Vision, Sound, Smell, Taste, Touch, Bodily Sensation, and Emotional Feeling and points to the need for further research to identify the specific cognitive processes underlying the vividness of imagery across sensory modalities.

Introducing TAMI: An Objective Test of Ability in Movement Imagery

A novel test of ability in movement imagery that relies on objective measures and requires participants to make explicit imagined movements from an external perspective is presented and is found to be a valid and reliable measure of movement imagery ability.

Measuring athlete imagery ability: the sport imagery ability questionnaire.

Overall, the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire demonstrates good factorial validity, internal and temporal reliability, invariance across gender, and an ability to distinguish among athletes of different competitive levels.

Age Differences in the Vividness of Youth Sport Performers’ Imagery Ability

Abstract The Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire-2 (VMIQ-2; Roberts et al., 2008) is a recent addition to tools developed for investigating movement imagery ability. To date, few studies have…

Factor Analysis and Reliability of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire

The results for 63 men and 47 women supported the bifactorial structure and reliability of this self-report and its adequacy in comparisons of visual and kinesthetic imagery scores.

Consciousness, mental imagery and action

This article is founded on the bold claim that mental imagery is a basic building block of all consciousness. Conscious mental imagery is reported in association with waking, dreaming and…

The relationship between self-reports of imagery and spatial ability.

A puzzling question arising from imagery research is why no relationship has been found between self-reports of imagery and performance on spatial tests thought to require the use of imagery, and spatial ability was compared with performance on the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire and a newly constructed imagery questionnaire.

Individual differences in mental imagery experience: developmental changes and specialization.

Intensive reports of imagery experience show a systematic pattern of relationships with age, gender, and specialization requiring high-level performance of perceptual motor skills, which support the theory that mental imagery plays a key role in the planning and implementation of action.

The relationship between the use of kinaesthetic imagery and different visual imagery perspectives

The instructional set of the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire was changed to make the participant the ‘agent’ of the external visual perspective images rather than somebody else, indicating a significant correlation between external visual imagery and kinaesthetic imagery.

A Factor Analytic Study of Two Measures of Mental Imagery

To examine the factor structure of the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire and the Visual Elaboration Scale measure, in Study I the former test was given to 133 psychology students and in…

Use of different imagery perspectives on the learning and performance of different motor skills.

In the gymnastics task, contrary to previous suggestions, external visual imagery was found to be more effective than internal visual imagery for both learning and subsequent retention.

Topographical distribution of EEG activity accompanying visual and motor imagery in vivid and non-vivid imagers.

Brain mapping techniques were used to investigate the topographical distribution of electroencephalographic activity accompanying visual and motor imagery in four different tasks and revealed that alpha power was attenuated in vivid images during visual imagery, but enhanced during motor imagery.

Subjective and Objective Assessment Methods of Mental Imagery Control: Construct Validations of Self-Report Measures

Findings suggest that subjective measures of imagery control do not tap the same cognitive processes involved in objective tests that require accurate imagery manipulation.

Working memory and the vividness of imagery.

The working memory framework was used to investigate the factors determining the phenomenological vividness of images and showed an image modality by task interaction, implicating both working memory and LTM in the experience of vividness.
