I wonder if someone could describe the similarities and differences between Motor execution and MI, MP and IM and more importantly, the one that is more correlated with motor execution.
wow, lots of things at stake here :)
I can start by saying that functional equivalence theories of MI defend that neurophysiological similarities of MI and ME justify making MI as similar as possible to ME. For instance, the PETTLEP model of MI, arguably the most influential model in sport psychology, defends that the more closely MI resemble ME, the more MI becomes an effective performance enhancing strategy.
For more on the PETTLEP model:
Holmes, P. S., & Collins, D. J. (2001). The PETTLEP approach to motor imagery: A functional equivalence model for sport psychology. Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, 13, 60–83.
I know this answers only a small part of your question, but I am not very familiar with MP or IM
Hi Isabel. Yes, I still on the same stuff, If you 'r e interesetd to answer here it is:
Motor execution (ME): Overt and volitional movement.
Motor imagery (MI): Motor imagination that could be either visual or kinesthetic. MI activates the brain similar to ME (spatially and spectrally)
Motor Intention (MI): Is similar to ME but is usually used when ME is not possible such as paralysis after stroke.
Motor planning (MP): is a pre-requisite for ME, MI, and IM that defines the pattern of brain activation before or during every motor activity.
If interested in more details, let me know to provide reference papers.
Did you ever find an answer to this question?
I'm interested in this myself.
