About this study
Official title: The Effect of Motor Imagery and Action Observation on Motor Skill Acquisition in Healthy Adults
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Motor Imagery and Action Observation on Motor Skill Acquisition in healthy adults.

- Being tested
- Motor Imagery, Action Observation
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Motor ImageryOther
Motor imagery is the mental execution of a movement without any overt movement or without any peripheral (muscle) activation. It has been shown that motor imagery leads to the activation of the same brain areas as an actual movement. Therefore, it is used to acquire new motor skills. Action Observation (AO) involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions.
Action ObservationDiagnostic test
Also called Movement Observation
Action Observation (AO) involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Motor imagery group | Experimental | Motor imagery group. Only motor imagery intervention will be applied to participants. Receives: Other: Motor Imagery |
| Action Observation Group | Experimental | Action Observation Group. Only action observation intervention will be applied to participants Receives: Diagnostic Test: Action Observation |
| Action Observation + Motor imagery Group | Experimental | Action Observation + Motor imagery Group. Both action observation and motor imagery interventions will be applied for 5 minutes each. Receives: Other: Motor Imagery; Diagnostic Test: Action Observation |
| Control | No intervention | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Finger Tapping Task
The finger tapping task is a motor sequence learning task in which participants are asked to tap with their non-dominant hand a 5-digits sequence (for example 4-1-3-2-4 or 2-4-13-2), as rapidly and accurately as possible, using the numeric key-buttons of a computer keyboard or a response box.
Measured: 5 minutes
Secondary outcomes (1)
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3
The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 is the most recent version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire and the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised. It is a 12-item questionnaire to assess individual's ability to image four movements using:
Internal visual imagery External visual imagery Kinesthetic imagery. A 7 point scale used to score each item and the higher score indicates higher ability to perform motor imagery.
Measured: 15 minutes
