Document Summary
Imagery is an experience that mimics real experience. We can be aware of seeing an image, feeling movements, or experiencing an image of smell, tastes, or sounds without actually experiencing the real thing: visualization, mental rehearsal, symbolic rehearsal, covert practice and mental practice. Imagery involves creating or re-creating an experience in your mind. Imagery involves all the sense: visual, kinesthetic, auditory, tactile, and olfactory. Imagery is a form of stimulation that involves recalling from memory, pieces of information stored from experience and shaping those pieces into meaningful images. Imagery: athlete is consciously aware of the experiences: when do athletes usually use imagery, usually immediately prior to competition; during & post competition, leisure time and at night before sleep, when injured. Theories proposing how imagery works: symbolic learning theory, psycho-neuromuscular theory, bio-informational theory, dual coding theory, psychological skills hypothesis. Improve concentration: enhance motivation, build confidence, control emotional responses, acquire, practice, and correct sport skills, acquire and practice strategy.
