Module 7 Effective Imagery Flashcards
The psycho-neuromuscular theory of imagery argues that imagery facilitates the learning of motor skills
Select one:
a.by innervating muscles in the same way that physically practicing the movement does.
b.by stimulating the area of the brain known as the cerebral cortex.
c.by increasing arousal and secreting more norepinephrine.
d.by elevating levels of cortisol in the brain.
a.by innervating muscles in the same way that physically practicing the movement does.
Imagery can help build confidence
Select one:
a.because it can create feelings of competence by seeing yourself perform skills and behaviors effectively.
b.by increasing arousal levels.
c.if the imagery is done using both internal and external perspectives.
d.through repeating performance of different behaviors.
a.because it can create feelings of competence by seeing yourself perform skills and behaviors effectively.
A person saying that imagery has helped him maintain his exercise regimen is an example of
Select one:
a.an experimental study.
b.an observational study.
c.a case study.
d.an anecdotal report.
d.an anecdotal report.
The symbolic theory of imagery argues that imagery facilitates the learning of motor skills
Select one:
a.by having the person learn both stimulus and response propositions in which they can get the “feel of the movement.”
b.by symbolically creating situations where the person could be successful in the desired movement.
c.by focusing on the meaning of the movement to each specific individual.
d.by focusing on acquiring and understanding movement patterns
d.by focusing on acquiring and understanding movement patterns
A researcher closely observers, monitors, and records an individual’s use of imagery and its affect on behavior over time. This is an example of what type of evidence of imagery effectiveness?
Select one:
a.Experimental Study
b.Case Study
c.Anecdotal Study
d.Observational Study
b.Case Study
Quotes by exercisers such as “when I imagine exercising it gets me energized,” and “I imagine becoming healthier by exercise” demonstrate what use of imagery?
Select one:
a.Reducing Anxiety
b.Enhancing Concentration
c.Improving Motivation
d.Controlling Emotions
c.Improving Motivation
Which of the following statements is true?
Select one:
a.Working out at a new club can be especially anxiety-producing for women because they wonder if they look good (are in shape) to the opposite sex.
b.Images related to changes in exercise self-efficacy revolve around feelings of increased concentration and motivation.
c.Females use more appearance imagery than males.
d.Females use technique imagery more than males.
c.Females use more appearance imagery than males.
“I concentrate on my form when doing imagery. I like to see myself going through a perfect routine with all the right body posture…Doing the skills and movements correctly gives me a sense that I am actually accomplishing something during my exercise.” This quote represents what function of exercise imagery?
Select one:
a.Exercise Self-Efficacy
b.Exercise Appearance
c.Exercise Technique
d.Exercise Emotions/Feelings
c.Exercise Technique
Imagery facilitates behavior change in health and fitness
Select one:
a.by focusing on internal imagery.
b.by focusing on external imagery.
c.by using all appropriate senses.
d.by imagining all the negative outcomes so these can be avoided.
c.by using all appropriate senses.
Bio-informational theory of imagery argues that imagery facilitates the learning of motor skills
Select one:
a.by stimulating areas of the brain related to movement such as the cerebellum and pre-frontal cortex, the muscles will then become innervated.
b.by assuming an image is a functionally organized set of propositions stored in the brain with the focus on stimulus and response propositions.
c.by functioning as a coding system to help people acquire and understand movement patterns.
d.by innervating muscles that would ordinarily perform the movement in the same way that physically practicing the movement does.

b.by assuming an image is a functionally organized set of propositions stored in the brain with the focus on stimulus and response propositions.
