In two studies, we examined the strength of relationship between internal and external visual imagery with kinaesthetic imagery. In Study 1, 56 participants completed the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire and the Movement Imagery Questionnaire. Pearson's product-moment correlations failed to reveal a significant correlation between external visual imagery and kinaesthetic imagery. However, the correlation between internal visual imagery and kinaesthetic imagery approached significance. In Study 2, the instructional set of the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire was changed to make the participant the 'agent' of the external visual perspective images rather than somebody else. Sixty-four participants completed the two questionnaires. The results indicated a significant correlation between external visual imagery and kinaesthetic imagery (r = 0.60, P < 0.01). However, the correlation between internal visual imagery and kinaesthetic imagery was non-significant (r = 0.23, P > 0.01). The results are discussed in relation to who is the agent of the image and the processes that may underlie kinaesthetic imagery. The implications for researchers trying to establish the functional, behavioural and neurological differences within, and across, imagery modalities are considered.
在两项研究中，我们考察了内部视觉表象与外部视觉表象和动觉表象之间的关系强度。在研究1中，56名参与者完成了运动表象生动性问卷和运动表象问卷。皮尔逊积差相关未能揭示外部视觉表象与动觉表象之间存在显著相关性。然而，内部视觉表象与动觉表象之间的相关性接近显著水平。在研究2中，运动表象生动性问卷的指导语设定发生了变化，使参与者成为外部视觉视角图像的“主体”而非其他人。64名参与者完成了这两份问卷。结果表明，外部视觉表象与动觉表象之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.60，P < 0.01）。然而，内部视觉表象与动觉表象之间的相关性不显著（r = 0.23，P > 0.01）。我们结合图像的主体以及动觉表象可能的潜在过程对结果进行了讨论。同时考虑了这些结果对试图确定不同表象模式内部及之间功能、行为和神经学差异的研究人员的启示。
