The results of the 3 studies provide preliminary support for the revised VMIQ-2 as a psychometrically valid questionnaire.
Abstract
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-item version was subject to correlated traits / correlated uniqueness (CTCU) analysis. An acceptable fit was revealed. Study 2 used a different sample of 355 athletes. The CTCU analysis confirmed the factorial validity of the 12-item VMIQ-2. In Study 3, the concurrent and construct validity of the VMIQ-2 was supported. Taken together, the results of the 3 studies provide preliminary support for the revised VMIQ-2 as a psychometrically valid questionnaire.

Motor imagery ability in patients with traumatic brain injury.

TL;DR: Patients with TBI demonstrated a relatively preserved MI ability indicating that MI could be used to aid rehabilitation and subsequent functional recovery, and a decrease of MI vividness in the TBI group.

Optimizing motor imagery neurofeedback through the use of multimodal immersive virtual reality and motor priming

TL;DR: Investigation of the role of multimodal virtual reality simulations and motor priming in a motor imagery BCI training shows improved BCI performance for VR and MP conditions, as well as the capacity to modulate and enhance brain activity patterns.

Neurophysiological markers discriminate different forms of motor imagery during action observation

TL;DR: Empirical support is provided for the first time that it is possible to co-represent observed and imagined actions simultaneously in the observer's brain, as well as insight into the attentional and cognitive mechanisms underlying these effects.

Subjective vividness of motor imagery has a neural signature in human premotor and parietal cortex.

TL;DR: Results showed that spatial patterns of neural activity within the human motor cortices reflect the individual vividness of imagined actions, revealing a link between the subjective impression of motor imagery vividness and objective physiological markers.

Introducing TAMI: An Objective Test of Ability in Movement Imagery

TL;DR: 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.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives

TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Comparative fit indexes in structural models

TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

Evaluating Goodness-of-Fit Indexes for Testing Measurement Invariance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the change in the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) when cross-group constraints are imposed on a measurement model and found that the change was independent of both model complexity and sample size.

Construct validity in psychological tests.

TL;DR: The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.
