Psychoneuromuscular Theory
|
Imagery programs muscles for actions.
Imagery facilitates the learning of motor skills because imagined events innervate the muscles as physical practice of the movement does; they strengthen neural pathways. |
|
Symbolic Learning Theory
|
Imagery helps us understand movement patterns.
Imagery functions as a coding system (as mental blueprints) to help people understand and acquire movement patterns. |
|
Bioinformational Theory
|
Images are made of STIMULUS and RESPONSE propositions.
It is critical to imagine not only stimulus propositions (statements that describe the scenario to be imagined) but also response propositions (imaginer's response to the scenario). |
|
Triple code model
|
Imagery comprises the image, somatic (body) response, and image meaning.
Primary importance is placed on the psychophysiology of imagery and understanding the imagery parts: the IMAGE, the somatic RESPONSE, and the MEANING of the image. |
