TiPs colleagues,
Below is a query from a colleague of mine in the bio department. I
don't have specific citations, but thought the wisdom of TiPs would
help. I would be particularly interested in any work that had been
done with visualization and FMRI imaging of pre-motor cortex.
Here is another query: the sports literature, (and about
half the self-help literature it seems) love to cite a really old
study by Alan Richardson (60's). This study had novice
basketball players divided into three groups. One practiced
on the courts, another did nothing, and a third practiced
"mentally". Oddly, the mental practitioners improved nearly'
as much as the physical practitioners. This is widley touted
as evidence for the power of creative visualization.
My question: is there credible, more contemporary evidence either
refuting this, or supporting "mental practice" or
creative visualization in enhancing performance in the
realm of exercise?
yours in wonder
Eric
