ABSTRACT:
Practice produces both internal and external sensory consequences which are thought to be essential for learning to occur. It is for this reason that mental practice (MP), rehearsal of a skill in imagination rather than by overt physical activity, has intrigued training theorists, especially those interested in cognitive processes. Mental practice has often been recommended by sportsmen and has a long, but not entirely respectable, history in the experimental literature. There is enough positive evidence, however, to indicate that MP can sometimes by almost as effective as overt practice, and it is sometimes very much more convenient. This article aims to present a review of the work so far completed, possible explanations of the MP phenomenon, several methodological problems most frequently found in the MP literature, and the optimal procedures for using MP.
