ABSTRACT Motor imagery (MI) refers to the imagination of a motor task without actual movement execution. The purpose of this study was to compare MI accuracy and vividness, and motor proficiency between children (n = 101; 7–12 years) and young adults (n = 140; 18–25 years). Results indicated that young adults were significantly more accurate and rated their MI significantly more vivid than children. For MI accuracy, between-subject effects showed that young adults had higher scores than children on three of the four subscales and the action subscale significantly predicted motor proficiency. These findings indicate that MI ability continues to develop into adulthood.

运动想象能力的准确性和生动性：儿童和年轻人之间的差异

摘要 运动意象 (MI) 是指在没有实际运动执行的情况下对运动任务的想象。本研究的目的是比较儿童（n = 101；7-12 岁）和年轻人（n = 140；18-25 岁）之间的 MI 准确性和生动性以及运动能力。结果表明，与儿童相比，年轻人明显更准确，并且对他们的 MI 评分也明显更生动。对于 MI 准确性，受试者间效应表明，年轻人在四个分量表中的三个分量表上的得分高于儿童，而动作分量表显着预测了运动能力。这些发现表明 MI 能力继续发展到成年期。
