Abstract

We developed a method of motor-imagery visualization and examined the temporal and spatial accuracy and movement pattern or motor imagery using a dart-throwing task. Twelve male undergraduates were randomly assigned to two practice conditions and performed 18 sets consisting of 60 throws over sessions on 6 days. Before and after each set, participants were required to visualize throwing; the participants manipulated a puppet-type rnotion-capture system, which created visualized motion images corresponding to the motion of the puppet. The actual movements were recorded by a VTR. The temporal accuracy of the forward swing in the motor imagery was longer than that of the actual movement. However, the duration of the backswing in the motor imagery was shorter than that in the actual movement, in both practice conditions. The magnitude of the motor-imagery movements was underestimated, as compared to actual movements. While no significant correlation was found between the temporal and spatial accuracy of motor imagery, a signilicant correlation was shown between temporal and spatial accuracy and performance variability.
