Research design is the basis from which study outcomes are obtained. Unfortunately, a multitude of methodological design combinations has historically been used to examine the phenomenon of mental practice relative to motor behaviour. The present paper contends that these varied methodological combinations obscure efforts to produce a solid foundation of mental practice evidence. The paper presents an overview of the implemented mental practice research designs via a methodological components model and illustrates how this model can be used to clarify design issues of past mental practice research, and plan more effective future studies. Analysis of past research demonstrates the need for a balanced emphasis between study design and study outcome, and suggests a more explicit methodological focus in order to promote more effectively designed mental practice studies in the future.
研究设计是获取研究结果的基础。不幸的是，历史上人们使用了大量的方法设计组合来研究相对于运动行为的心理练习现象。本文认为，这些多样的方法组合掩盖了为心理练习证据奠定坚实基础的努力。本文通过一个方法学组件模型概述了已实施的心理练习研究设计，并说明了该模型如何用于澄清过去心理练习研究的设计问题，以及规划更有效的未来研究。对过去研究的分析表明，需要在研究设计和研究结果之间取得平衡，并建议更明确地关注方法学，以便在未来更有效地促进心理练习研究的设计。
