Functional Role of Motor Imagery:Aspects of Motor Imagery and Study on Function of Mental Imagery

摘要

Based on the three reports presented at symposium on the functional role of motor imagery, the essential nature of motor imagery, aspects of motor imagery, and the functional role of motor imagery were examined. Firstly, it was indicated that motor imagery is reproduced in relationship with other sensory systems, mainly the visual system, and has an essentially constructive nature. Secondly, it was presented that there are several aspects which should be considered in the study of motor imagery. Lastly, Kosslynu27s “Reality Simulation Principle” and examples were introduced and future goals for functional studies of motor imagery were presented.
