Generating visual mental images: latency and vividness are inversely related.

In three experiments, participants pressed a reaction time key and rated vividness after reading descriptions of common objects and imagining them as accurately as possible within a visual display subtending 1.2 degrees or 10.8 degrees. Display size had ...

Chronometric comparisons of imagery to action: visualizing versus physically performing springboard dives.

Motor imagery research emphasizes similarities between the mental imagery of an action and its physical execution. In this study, temporal differences between motor imagery and its physical performance as a function of performer expertise, skill ...

Relation between sport activity and mental rotation: comparison of three groups of subjects.

The aim was to observe the relation between sport activity and performance on a mental image-transformation task. A classical mental rotation task using abstract stimuli was administered to three groups: (a) gymnasts who used mental and physical ...

The effects of mental representation on performance in a navigation task.

In three experiments, we investigated the mental representations employed when instructions were followed that involved navigation in a space displayed as a grid on a computer screen. Performance was affected much more by the number of instructional ...

Effects of subthalamic nucleus stimulation on actual and imagined movement in Parkinsons disease : a PET study.

BACKGROUND: PET studies in moderately affected Parkinsons disease (PD) patients reveal abnormal cerebral activation during motor execution and imagery, but the effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation are not well established. OBJECTIVES: to ...

The Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) inventory: psychometric evaluation with adolescent psychiatric inpatient samples.

In this study, we evaluated the factor structure of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) Inventory (Osman, Gutierrez, Kopper, Barrios, & Chiros, 1998) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The PANSI assesses the frequency of negative ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation study of plastic changes of human motor cortex after repetitive simple muscle contractions.

Studies of use-dependent changes in neural activation have recently focused on the primary motor cortex. To detect the excitability changes in the primary motor cortex after practice in human subjects, motor-evoked potentials by transcranial magnetic ...

Subjective and objective assessment methods of mental imagery control: construct validation of self-report measures.

A study was conducted to examine the relationship between subjective and objective measures of mental imagery control. Eighty college undergraduates completed a battery of imagery tests and self-report measures to examine whether questionnaires that ...

Age as a modifier of sexually aggressive attitudes in men.

Male attitudes and behaviours related to imagined sexual aggression were investigated in 99 Finnish men (mean age 24.3 years). Structural equation modelling suggested that imagined sexual aggression was directly predicted by hostile masculine ideologies ...

Visual imagery of famous faces: effects of memory and attention revealed by fMRI.

Complex pictorial information can be represented and retrieved from memory as mental visual images. Functional brain imaging studies have shown that visual perception and visual imagery share common neural substrates. The type of memory (short- or ...
