“…Visual imagery was considered "easier", t(13) = 2.51, p = 0.03, in agreement with previous research [2,19]. This suggests that our sample is similar to the neurologically healthy population sampled in motor imagery studies.…”

Single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to test the assumption that kinesthetic imagery of action is more 'motor' than visual imagery of action. We assessed corticospinal excitability during motor imagery of a thumb-palm opposition movement by recording potentials evoked by TMS from two hand muscles that would (opponens pollicis, OP, target) or would not (abductor digiti minimi, ADM, control) be activated during actual performance of the very same movement. Participants were asked to imagine the thumb-palm opposition movement while maintaining first person imagery that was either purely visual or predominately kinesthetic. The motor imagery task was performed in two conditions in which the imagined and the actual hand could be either congruent or incongruent. Facilitation of potentials recorded from OP was higher during imagery carried out in mentally congruent than incongruent postures. This effect was largely due to lack of excitability recorded during incongruent kinesthetic imagery, which was indistinguishable from baseline imagery of the static hand. All other conditions differed from static imagery regardless of position. No significant effects were found in a control muscle (ADM) thus indicating that the effect was not related to spatial coding. Subjective reports obtained after the experiment indicate that the results cannot be ascribed to qualitative differences in the imagery experienced. For relatively simple motor tasks requiring no 'expertise' we found no detectable difference in the motor cortex due to imagery modality.

“…Despite the fact that there was some evidence where males and females presented different imagery generating capabilities, it should be pointed out that different aspects of imagery were examined and only limited differences were discovered (Ozel, Molinaro, & Larue, 2001;Richardson, 1995;Taktek, 2004;Campos, Pérez-Fabello, & Gómez-Juncal, 2004;Williams & Cumming, 2011;Budnik-Przybylska, 2014). For example, females reported higher visual imagery ability than males in some MIQ studies (Atienza, Balaguer, & Garcia-Merita, 1994;Goss, Hall, & Buckolz, 1983). In another study, where the MIQ-R was used, the results also indicated that the model fit females better than males (Monsma, Short, Hall, Gregg, & Sullivan, 2009).…”

backgroundImagery is often beneficial not only in gaining a psychological advantage when competing but also in building selfesteem and self-confidence. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Polish adaptation of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3), consisting of 12 questions measuring 3 dimensions: visual internal imagery, visual external imagery and kinesthetic imagery. participants and procedureA sample of athletes (N = 276 -102 women, 174 men (M = 21.25, SD = 6.35)) of various disciplines (football, volleyball, karate, swimming, etc.) with different sport experience (from recreation to the national team) filled in the MIQ-3 questionnaire in the Polish language. resultsThe results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with maximum likelihood confirmed that the established three-factor model reflects well the relationships observed in the respondents' answers (satisfactory value of RMSEA below the recommended value of .05 (RMSEA = .04) and a high value of the index above .90 CFI (CFI = .93)). Reliability indicators (composite reliability -CR) observed for individual factors indicated a very high internal consistency (external visual imagery = .75, internal visual imagery = .79 and kinesthetic imagery = .82). The results indicated that good stability and internal consistency were maintained over a 3-week period. In addition, analyses were examined across age, level of experience and gender. conclusionsThe results of the present study support the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of the MIQ-3. key words imagery; athletes; Reliability and validity of the Polish version of the Movement Imagery corresponding author -Dagmara Budnik-Przybylska, Ph.D.,

“…However, evidence of the MIQ-R's factorial validity is currently lacking, with the majority of existing studies having been conducted on the original MIQ (e.g., Atienza, Balaguer, & Garcia-Merita, 1994). Compared with the MIQ, the MIQ-R has fewer items and the rating scale is reversed.…”

This research validated and extended the Movement Imagery QuestionnaireRevised (MIQ-R; Hall & Martin, 1997). Study 1 (N = 400) examined the MIQ-R's factor structure via multitrait-multimethod confirmatory factor analysis. The questionnaire was then modified in Study 2 (N = 370) to separately assess the ease of imaging external visual imagery and internal visual imagery, as well as kinesthetic imagery (termed the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3; MIQ-3). Both Studies 1 and 2 found that a correlated-traits correlated-uniqueness model provided the best fit to the data, while displaying gender invariance and no significant differences in latent mean scores across gender. Study 3 (N = 97) demonstrated the MIQ-3's predictive validity revealing the relationships between imagery ability and observational learning use. Findings highlight the method effects that occur by assessing each type of imagery ability using the same four movements and demonstrate that better imagers report greater use of observational learning.
