Term
What are the reasons athletes engage in imagery?
Definition

1) Effectiveness in a variety circumstances

2) Potential of the individual as a result of those imagery

Term
Martin, Moritz and Hall identified four constructs for the model:
Definition

a) the sport situation

b) the function of imagery used

c) the outcomes associated with imagery use

d) imagery ability

Term
What does the model indicates for a) the sport situation?
Definition
the function of the imagery should match the desired outcome
Term
Paivio and colleagues proposed that imagery plays 2 roles that influence behavior, what are they?
Definition
Cognitive and Motivational role
Term
Explain Cognitive Specific (CS) imagery

Definition

Cognitive General (CG) imagery

Cognitive Specific (CS) imagery

Motivational general-arousal (MG-A) imagery

Motivational general-mastery (MG-M) imagery

Motivational Specific (MS) imagery

Term
Explain Cognitive General (CG) imagery
Definition
CG imagery invovles mentally rehearsing race plans and strategies of play.

Definition
Better imagers are more likely to engage in imagery use, and as a result of using imagery more frequently, imagery ability is enhanced.
Term
Explain the imagery functions linked to specific desired outcomes in Martin et al.'s model
Definition

CG imagery had been used for rehearsing football plays, wrestling strategies and canoe slalom races.

MG-A imagery was related to decreased anxiety.

MG-M imagery was related to increased sport-confident. 

MS imagery is to image two types of goals, performace and outcome.

CS imagery is use for positively related to performance improvements such as in track and field.

 

Term
The proposal that imagery abilty moderates the imagery use create desired outcome relationship can be further study to
Definition

1) identify potential moderators of the imagery use

2) develop more effective imagery interventions

Term
According to Hall, the instruments such as _____ were designed to measure how good an athlete is at imaging specific movements i.e. CS imagery
Definition
MIQ-R
Term
What were the measures used
Definition

Imagery Use - The Sport Imagery Questionnaire (SIQ) - use of five cognitive and motivational functions of imagery.
