Week 5a – Tjerk Moll
Imagery

“we think in pictures way more than we think in words”
(Nick Faldo)

- When we visualise our ‘past’ selves performing a particular sporting task E
...
scoring
a goal, we see ourselves performing it from a different angle, such as a birds-eye
view, instead of through our eyes, which is how it actually happened
...
Meaning = vividness

What factors influence imagery?
“An individual’s capability to form vivid, controllable images and retain them for sufficient
time to effect the desired imagery rehearsal” - Morris, Sittle, & watt 2005 p37

- Multidimensional
- Involving multiple processes
- Partly fixed – partly modifiable
- Imagery ability Increase = imagery effectiveness Increase

• Needs assessment
• Questions
• Questionnaires
- Sport imagery ability questionnaire (SIQ)
- Movement imagery questionnaire

Week 5a – Tjerk Moll


Who; gender, age, background
When; training, competition, before/during, in bed

Why are they imaging?
- Improve skills, strategies, increase confidence, reduce anxiety, maintain focus
What is imaged?
- Movements, skills, exercises, thoughts, feelings, environment
How?
- Modality
- Perspective
- Angle
- Agency
- Deliberation

Key points;
- Effective imagery is a match between why & outcome
- Different factors impact upon effectiveness
- Imagery ability can be improved
- Revised applied model guides planning

LSRT (Layered stimulus response training)
Meaning; response, stimulus propositions

Stimulus propositions
(Image 1)
- Running along a path,
- Notice detail of scene
- Mostly visual but not clear
Image 2
- See the scene (colours, details)





Week 5a – Tjerk Moll

Response propositions
Image 2;
- Easily and fairly vivid
- Mostly 3pp
- Shifting from side on to front

Layer 2
- Sound of running steps
- Tactile connection of foot to ground

Meaning
Image 3;
- Sound easy to generate
- Stand and walk helped to feel foot connection

Layer 3;
- Feel legs
- Arms pushing
- Breathing

Outcome of example;
- Improved meta imagery;
More vivid image
Switch from 2pp to 2pp

- Observed changes during run
More focussed
Achieved desired running
Greater perseverance

Key points to remember
- Layer differs from individual to individual
- Applies well to both research and practice
- Clients like structured yet personalised approach

Image;
Develop à reflect
1 – 5
1 = no image at all; you only know you are thinking of the image
5 = perfectly clear
