T1 - Imagery, Expertise, and Action BT - a Window into Embodiment JF - Handbook of Embodied Cognition and Sport Psychology N2 - In this chapter, we explore the aforementioned paradigm shifts and how they offer an ave nue for new research. We first elucidate what precisely “ mental imagery,” the parent construct of motor imagery, is and explain the research milestones that have elucidated our understanding of this complex topic. The construct of motor imagery has become a thriving research topic thanks to the development of the action simulation model by Marc Jeannerod, which provided a framework in which imagery and movement are viewed as part of an action continuum ( Jeannerod 1994, 2006).
