ABSTRACT:
To investigate the effect of mental practice (MP) on reaction time (RT), an experiment was conducted using a total of 100 sports participants matched on age, imagery ability, intelligence, kinesthesis, motivation, sex, skill level, and speed of reaction. It was found that MP can affect significantly RT (p less than 0.01), because it is a powerful cognitive activity which can directly influence the memory system and make memory comparison and/or response selection processes more efficient. The results are discussed in the light of current imagery, memory. MP and RT findings.
