{"pk":26014,"title":"Imagine That: The Relationship between Imagery Measures and Imagery Types","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Imagery is an important feature of mental simulation, which is central to human cognitive functions from decision\nmaking to joint action to language production. Imagery is often used as a mental rehearsal strategy in areas of expertise, such as\nmusic, athletics and surgery, but also in movement rehabilitation. Individual imagery abilities may vary by general, modalityunspecific\nimagery capacity, as well as by imagery types. Within the literature, multiple tests have been used to measure imagery\nability in various modalities such as visual, auditory, motor and spatial imagery. Participants (n=301) completed common\nimagery questionnaires (MIQ3, VMIQ2, BQMI, VVIQ, MASMI, OSIVQ, BAIS, CAIS). Findings suggest that greater reported\ndance, video game or music experience is related to increased kinesthetic, spatial or auditory imagery ability respectively.\nOther individual differences were found across subscales of the same modality, suggesting issues with reliability between\nquestionnaires. Further factor analyses may reveal commonalities between imagery types.\n2998","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/09k1x4n7","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Margaret","middle_name":"","last_name":"Tarampi","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California Santa Barbara","department":""},{"first_name":"Boris","middle_name":"","last_name":"Khanukayev","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California Santa Barbara","department":""},{"first_name":"Rebecca","middle_name":"","last_name":"Schaefer","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California Santa Barbara","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26014/galley/15638/download/"}]}
