Abstract : The aim of this study was to consider the functional equivalence of internal imagery, external
imagery and action execution. Sixteen elite gymnasts imaged and performed a complex
gymnastic vault. Ten performers imaged from an internal perspective and six used an external
perspective. Whilst the results revealed that the time to image the entire motor task was not
significantly different from the time required to physically perform it, irrespective of the
imagery perspective employed, the temporal organization of the action was different within
the imagery conditions compared to the physical condition. The results do not provide support
for the principle of temporal functional equivalence and are discussed in the light of recent
findings from the cognitive neuroscience and psychology literature.
