This study examined the use of imagery according to Paivio's (1985) general analytic framework. The aims were to examine functional differences in imagery use according to the five subscales of the SIQ, to investigate differences in imagery use by competitive level, and to explore the influence on the use of imagery of skills involving a perceptual target (reactive tasks) and without a perceptual target (nonreactive tasks). Participants included 484 individuals (280 male, 204 female), with a mean age of 20.39 (SD = 4.10) from the United Kingdom, Finland, and Australia. The group comprised 84 national, 21 0 state, 120 district, and 70 recreational level athletes representing 54 sports. Participants completed a demographic information sheet and the Sport Imagery Questionnaire (SIQ). Participants were classified according tocompetitive level and task type. Results indicated that overall participants used more motivational general-mastery imagery. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance revealed that there were significant differences
among the four competitive levels on imagery use with the district level participants reporting significantly
higher use of motivational general-arousal (MG-A) imagery than state and national level participants and national level participants reporting higher use of cognitive specific (CS) imagery than recreational level participants. There was also a significant difference between tasks with a
perceptual target and tasks with no target for motivational-specific imagery, with higher scores for tasks with a perceptual target. The results suggest the continued evaluation of imagery use in relation to competitive level and support that task type may influence the functional use of imagery in sport.read more

Cognitive reading strategies used by students in TOEFL preparation class at MBI Amanatul Ummah Pacet-Mojokerto
TL;DR: The use of cognitive reading strategies emphasize on the importance of the reading background knowledge in the reading process, so the students use of both text information and the background knowledge as mentioned in this paper, which can be one way to achieve learning goal and having high score in learning task.

TL;DR: Sport imagery functions (motivational specific, motivationalexpert general and motivational-arousal general) are predicted based on age, which means that with increasing the age the use of these functions decreases.

Imagery Use in Sport: A Literature Review and Applied Model
TL;DR: In this paper, an applied model for sport imagery use by athletes is presented, where three broad categories of imagery effects are examined: skill and strategy learning and performance, cognitive modification, and arousal and anxiety regulation.
Cognitive and motivational functions of imagery in human performance.
TL;DR: A conceptual framework is proposed that could be used to evaluate the available research literature and guide further research on the use of imagery techniques to modify performance and is based on evidence that imagery mediates behaviour through either cognitive or motivational mechanisms.
