A major part of the chapter is dealing with mental training by imagery and the usage of motor imagination in athletes, musicians and during rehabilitation.

Abstract Efficacy of desensitization has been assumed to rely on imaginal vividness. This study evaluated vividness and controllability of imagery as possible desensitization mediators. Desensitization was administered to female, snake phobic, college students in one of two conditions: (a) the same snake was used for pre- and posttesting, and (b ...
