the very routine method of learning of an skill or subject is physical practicing. such as reading, driving or just talking. but can it maybe possible to learn skills with just imagining them and being focus on them? if it is possible, a new learning method can be learn with just mind!
Learning is most effective when using multiple vectors like writing, reading, speaking, etc. Restricting yourself to just "imagining them and being focus on them" will just make your experience sub-optimal to say the least...
No.
If it were we could dismantle libraries, schools and universities.
To make it effective we have to stand on the shoulders of giants.
No, definitely not. It depends on prior knowledge, motivation, minimal required skills, and the whole thing happens only in the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky).
If we're talking about a motor skill there is some evidence to suggest that execution and imagination rely on similar neural processes; thus, it may be possible for imagination to facilitate motor learning. For example...
"[The] common coding account [that execution, perception, and imagination ... processes rely on common neural codes] is based on the notion that the neural codes used to generate an action are tightly bound to the codes that represent the perceptual consequences of that action. It is suggested that during action imagination and perception the bound codes are activated offline through an action simulation."
