Effect of skill proficiency on motor imagery ability between amateur dancers and non-dancers
Evidence has shown that athletes with high motor skill proficiency possess higher motor imagery ability than those with low motor skill proficiency. However, less is known whether this superiority in motor imagery ability emerges over amateur athletes ...

Insensitivity of visual short-term memory to irrelevant visual information [PDF]
Several authors have hypothesised that visuo-spatial working memory is functionally analogous to verbal working memory. Irrelevant background speech impairs verbal short-term memory.

Differential temporal dynamics during visual imagery and perception
Visual perception and imagery rely on similar representations in the visual cortex. During perception, visual activity is characterized by distinct processing stages, but the temporal dynamics underlying imagery remain unclear.

Kinesthetic and visual imagery in young adults with chronic neck pain
Background: Young adults complain of neck pain almost every year. In recent years the ability of motor imagery (kinesthetic and visual imagery) in many musculoskeletal system problems other than neck pain in young adults has been investigated in the ...

Investigating the influence of music training on verbal memory [PDF]
Previous research has shown that musical training is associated with enhanced verbal memory. The current study investigated the generality of this association by presenting undergraduates who had received musical training (n = 20) and undergraduates with

Visual Imagery Facilitates Visual Perception: Psychophysical Evidence [PDF]
Abstract Visual imagery is the invention or recreation of a perceptual experience in the absence of retinal input.The degree to which the same neural representations are involved in both visual imagery and visual perception is unclear. Previous studies have shown that visual imagery interferes with perception (Perky effect).

Do synaesthesia and mental imagery tap into similar cross-modal processes? [PDF]
Synaesthesia has previously been linked with imagery abilities, although an understanding of a causal role for mental imagery in broader synaesthetic experiences remains elusive.

Preserved visual imagery in visual form agnosia [PDF]
We investigated the ability of a patient (D.F.) with profound visual form agnosia to perform a variety of tasks requiring visual imagery. Despite her inability to discriminate between objects and patterns of different shapes, sizes, and orientations, D.F.
