Mental practice, motor performance, and the late CNV

Article Abstract:

Two studies were conducted to examine the application of Lang's (1979, 1985) bioinformational theory to the mental practice (MP) of a strength task, the maximal voluntary contraction of the abductor digiti minimi, and the MP of a computerized barrier knockdown task. Also, the late CNV was observed and the results were found to support the bioinformational theory with respect to cognitively oriented motor tasks, but not strength tasks.
