Abstract:

This study aimed to better understand visuomotor tracking and spatial visual imagery. 101 Participants performed four tasks: A Manual Tracking Task (MTT), in which participants mouse-tracked the path of a circle, sometimes with occlusion. A Multi-Object Tracking task (MOT), in which participants tracked several objects simultaneously. The Sussex Cognitive Styles Questionnaire (SCSQ), in which participants self-reported their experience with imagery. A Mental Rotation Task (MRT) in which participants mentally rotate Tetris-like objects. The results demonstrated a significant correlation between

Abstract:

The current thesis addressed the question of whether an internally generated mental image can elicit a concurrent in grapheme colour synaesthesia; although there is experimental and anecdotal evidence that this is the case, to date this had not been systematically explored. As there are purportedly distinct object-based and spatial-based imagery processes it was necessary to explore the role different imagery processes may play. In Experiment 1 synaesthetes and matched control groups completed a grapheme-based object-imagery task against congruently and incongruently coloured backgrounds. Four

Abstract:

Mental imagery presents humans with the opportunity to predict prospective happenings based on own intended actions, to reminisce occurrences from the past and reproduce the perceptual experience. This cognitive capability is mandatory for human survival in this folding and changing world. By means of internal representation, mental imagery offers other cognitive functions (e.g., decision making, planning) the possibility to assess information on objects or events that are not being perceived. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that humans are able to employ this ability in the early st

Abstract:

The central hypothesis examined in this thesis was that there is a special relationship between mental imagery and emotion, whereby using mental imagery has a more powerful effect on emotions such as anxiety than verbal processing of the same material. This assumption has long been held in the experimental and clinical literatures. However, empirical evidence has been lacking. The above hypothesis was tested using an interpretation training paradigm, in which participants were exposed to many event descriptions that always ended either negatively or positively, dependent on training condition.

Abstract:

Mental representations can be consciously experienced in mental imagery format, and verbal-linguistic format. Mental imagery representations of emotional information can evoke more powerful emotional responses than verbal-linguistic representations of the same information. Biases in mental imagery-based cognition are postulated to play a role in the maintenance of emotional disturbance in depression. Despite growing research, two questions remain: 1) is dysphoria (mild to moderate depression symptoms) associated with mood-congruent bias in the frequency of mental imagery generation; and 2) are

The literature review discusses the relationship between paranoia and social anxiety in clinical and non-clinical populations. Much of the literature points to a correlation between social anxiety and paranoia , with many cognitive and affective processes implicated in both presentations.

This supports a cognitive model of persecutory delusions in which many of the cognitive and behavioural processes implicated in the maint

Abstract:

For pianists working within the western art music tradition, the ability to perform a large and complex repertoire from memory is almost a prerequisite for a successful career. Memorising and maintaining this repertoire requires considerable practice and can lead to physical overuse syndromes. Additionally, automated motor memory developed via physical practice is not always sufficient for secure recall, often leading to performance anxiety. It is important therefore for professionals to identify optimal practice strategies, and mental rehearsal has been widely advocated as a potential means o

This thesis is aims to explore the role of mental imagery in psychosis. Mental imagery has been of clinical interest for over a century. Seminal studies by Holmes and colleagues identified that mental imagery had a powerful effect on emotion. This finding is important and has influenced further research particularly on anxiety and mental imagery. Limited but promising evidence has been found for the role of mental imagery in psychosis. It is proposed that the links between anxiety and psychosis enable the effects of mental imagery in anxiety to be applied to psychosis. To this end a review of

There is an accumulation of evidence that psychological therapy is effective for anxiety, which is not so for BP. Mental imagery is implicated in the maintenance of anxiety and is a promising avenue of research in BP.

This type of practice strategy involves the use of imagery as opposed to the motor skills used in physical practice.

However, this review also revealed a lack of clarity in the use of terminology which sometimes interfered with readability.
