45 subjects were assessed for cognitive anxiety on the Sport Competition Anxiety Test. Two months later they observed a person performing a new motor task which required high cognitive processing to be performed well. After this observation, 22 subjects were randomly assigned to a Mental Practice and 23 to a Control group. The former performed a cognitive rehearsal of the task, whereas the latter did not. None practiced the task physically before being tested. Analysis of variance showed that both errors and performance time interacted significantly with Mental Practice versus Control group scores and scores on the Sport Competition Anxiety Test. Among subjects who practiced mentally, those scoring low on cognitive anxiety performed significantly better than subjects who scored high. Further, the relationship between test scores of cognitive anxiety and performance for the total sample was analysed by different curvilinear regression models. The cubic model fitted the data better and accounted for a greater percent of variance on error performance explained by anxiety test scores (R = .39) than the linear correlation (r = .25). This cubic model formed a polynomial relationship between cognitive anxiety test scores and error in performance.
对45名受试者进行了运动竞赛焦虑测试中的认知焦虑评估。两个月后，他们观察了一个人执行一项新的运动任务，该任务需要高度的认知处理才能出色完成。观察之后，22名受试者被随机分配到心理练习组，23名受试者被分配到对照组。前者对任务进行认知演练，而后者不进行。在测试之前，两组均未进行实际任务练习。方差分析表明，错误和表现时间与心理练习组与对照组的得分以及运动竞赛焦虑测试的得分均存在显著交互作用。在进行心理练习的受试者中，认知焦虑得分低的受试者表现明显优于得分高的受试者。此外，通过不同的曲线回归模型分析了认知焦虑测试得分与总样本表现之间的关系。与线性相关性（r = 0.25）相比，三次模型对数据的拟合效果更好，并且焦虑测试得分对错误表现的方差解释百分比更高（R = 0.39）。该三次模型在认知焦虑测试得分与表现错误之间形成了多项式关系。
