What Is PETTLEP-Based Imagery Interventions?

HOW MENTAL IMAGERY WORKS TO FACILITATE PERFORMANCE:There are many theories and body of literature that tried to explain how imagery works but the most popular amongst them are psychoneuromuscular, symbolic and informational theories.

“Imagery means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.” “Imagery is associated with mental pictures. However… imagery, to be realistic, turns out to be more complex than just a picture.”

An example of vivid imagery was when Bradley started winning the arm wrestling matches, and remembering winning is just not everything. “It was like a thrill I have experienced at my grandfather’s lake house in Louisiana, when I hooked my first big fish, Big Joe, but when my cousin saw the fish, he said, “that a keeper,” I realized I would be happier with the fish to be let go instead of grilling it” (pg. 162) Bradley compares Big Joe to arm wrestling in that Big Joe is a hard to catch and his father is hard to be beaten in arm wrestling. “Whenever you think that you have Big Joe, you cut the line and let the legend go on” (pg. 162). Another example of vivid imagery is “His arms have always protected me and my family, knowing they caught my mother whenever she fainted across the room and that they carried me, full grown, up and down the stairs when I had mononucleosis” (pg. 162). This quote is very descriptive in giving us primary examples of what it was like for his father’s arms to protect him and his mother from any harm, knowing that they were safe in his arm’s.

There are several benefits that we can gain from the development of MRI imagining technology. A common argument for

You’re now in the last 5 minutes in a soccer game and it’s a tie between the 2 teams. You don’t want to go over time so you need to think and use your body at the same time. A team member passes the ball to you but the other team’s defence is coming towards you. What do you do? Stories like “What is Better than a Touchdown?” and “Why we Run” can relate to these situation. Although, thinking and using your body are both equally as important when it comes to sports.

Imaginations allow individuals to use information and construct his or her own ideas. For example, individuals can imagine what his or her dream home looks like. This individual can see the home and describe what the home looks like. Anderson (2010) defined mental imagery as the processing of perceptual information without an

The next section will introduce VMI with a definition and a brief history, however, because it is not the main focus of the essay it will be kept very concise. A detailed review of the debate of visual mental imagery over the centuries can be found by Kosslyn, Thompson and Ganis (2006), Phylyshyn (2002) also gathers a plethora of theories in mental imagery.

Cox, Nicola Bullock, and Louise M. Burke Et Al. (2015): 278-284) There have been multiple ways of artificial improvement throughout athletes, but of course none of these are permanent ways of Improving. These ways are merely short term improvement “boosts” such as use of

Conclusion: Why our brain needs help of visuals and should study our thinking however we should

Mental imagery- mental imagery before big games. This method is used to improve the players confidence by the player imagining the situation before it is going to happen. If a player uses this technique it will improve their confidence and it will improve there aim because they know where to hit the ball exactly.

The idea of mental imagery has always been a controversial subject in the field of psychology. Many psychologists have argued that such a concept is impossible to measure because it can not be directly observed. Though they are right about this, it is not impossible to measure how quickly mental rotations of images are processed in our brains. Subjects in this experiment were presented two shapes simultaneously, via computer screen, and asked to make judgement, as quickly as possible, as to whether the two shapes presented were the same or mirror images. Two different shapes were used in this experiment, each given as often as the other. During each trial one shape remained stationary and the other was rotated with varying

Imagery allows an athlete to revisit a moment in their mind of their performance of excellence or failure and critique themselves. The purpose of this is to have the athlete’s body perform the task the mind it directing. When using imagery it is recommended to use all of one’s senses, know the athlete is in control of the situation, mentally review vigorously, limit time length to that of a play or race, and external or internal imagery. External is where an athlete watches film, or another person perform the task. Internal is when the athlete is actually doing the motion. Imagery helps an athlete with reaction time, because the motion becomes second nature in the brain, increases confidence in one’s abilities, and can motivate athlete’s to set extraordinary goal.

The question posed needs you look at the two different disciplines these the cognitive psychologist perceptive, and the other be biological psychologist. Both disciplines study the brain. It soon becomes apparent that both disciplines cross, join and merge at some point. Both use brain imagining techniques to study the brain and both research into what section of the brain is responsible for actions and behaviours. This essay is based on the loose discussion of what these techniques can tell researchers about the brain and memory. How brain imagery techniques are used to provide evidence on what area and part of that area of the brain are involved in the memory process. From both cognitive and biological perceptive.

Gould, Petlichkoff, Prentice and Tedeschi (2000) and Hemings and Holder (2009), suggest that athletes who perceive
