Spontaneous use of imagery in variety of tasks: simple association, logical thinking, mental multiplication, discrimination judgements. Betts findings: people often use imagery in these tasks.

Martin and colleagues (1999), using this framework, put forth the applied model of imagery use in. Sport; model consists of three stages: sport situation, imagery function, desired outcome. For imagery to be most beneficial, the function employed should match the desired outcome (eg. improve a skill) Imagery ability ability to generate pictures that has an affect on the ability to achieve outcome (more skilled in imagery the better you can apply it to a sport) You should use the function that best matches your outcome.
