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.read more

Spatial cognition, body representation and affective processes: the role of vestibular information beyond ocular reflexes and control of posture.
TL;DR: Three emerging streams of research in vestibular science are—at least in part—associated with different neuronal core mechanisms: spatial transformations draw on parietal areas, body representation is associated with somatosensory areas, and affective processes involve insular and cingulate cortices, all of which receive Vestibular input.

Cognitive psychology in sport: Progress and prospects☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the theoretical significance of research on expertise, attention and mental imagery in athletes from the perspective of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience and conclude that the domain of sport offers cognitive researchers a rich and dynamic natural laboratory in which to study how the mind works.

Motor imagery and its implications for understanding the motor system.
Jörn Munzert,Karen Zentgraf +1 more
TL;DR: The resulting concept of functional equivalence between MIm and execution opens a window to study the organization of motor processes and, more generally, to understand the neural plasticity of the motor system.

The influence of individual motor imagery ability on cerebral recruitment during gait imagery.
Marian van der Meulen,Marian van der Meulen,Gilles Allali,Sebastian Walter Rieger,Frédéric Assal,Patrik Vuilleumier,Patrik Vuilleumier +6 more
TL;DR: Good imagers appear better able to recruit motor areas during MI, but also activate a prefrontal executive area (BA 10), which integrates information from the body and the environment and participates in higher‐order gait control.

Individual differences in the perception of biological motion: links to social cognition and motor imagery.
Luke E. Miller,Ayse Pinar Saygin +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that although both social cognition and motor imagery predict sensitivity to biological motion, these skills likely tap into different aspects of perception.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
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.
Lee J. Cronbach,Paul E. Meehl +1 more
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.
