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

Re‐imagining motor imagery: Building bridges between cognitive neuroscience and sport psychology
TL;DR: Current research on motor imagery is hampered by a variety of semantic, conceptual, and methodological issues that prevent cross-fertilization of ideas between cognitive neuroscience and sport psychology, and some potentially fruitful new directions are sketched.

Measuring Motor Imagery Using Psychometric, Behavioral, and Psychophysiological Tools
TL;DR: This review examines the measurement of motor imagery processes and explains how physiological indices of the autonomic nervous system can measure MI and how these indices may be combined to produce a measure of MI quality called the Motor Imagery Index.

The relationship between corticospinal excitability during motor imagery and motor imagery ability.
TL;DR: This is the first study to show that the strength of corticospinal activation during imagery, which may be a determinant of the effectiveness of imagery training, is related to imagery ability in the general population, and has implications for clinical programs.

The measurement of imagery ability
TL;DR: The Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIMQ) as mentioned in this paper is designed to assess individual differences in visual and kinesthetic imagery of movement, and has been used to assess the ability of individuals to learn and perform motor skills.

Reduced activation of posterior cingulate cortex during imagery in subjects with high degrees of alexithymia : A functional magnetic resonance imaging study
TL;DR: An association between an HDA and reduced activation of the PCC during happy imagery is suggested, which might be related to a dysfunction of episodic memory retrieval duringhappy imagery in subjects with HDA.

The coleman roberts griffith address: Three myths about applied consultancy work
TL;DR: In this paper, three recommendations that are commonly made in the applied sport psychology literature are discussed: cognitive anxiety is always detrimental to performance and should therefore be reduced whenever possible; outcome goals and ego orientations have a detrimental effect on a number performance-related variables.

TL;DR: It is argued that no valid comparison between visual representations can arise unless provision is made for three critical properties: their direction of fit, theirdirection of causation and the level of their conceptual content.
