Question

How would choosing to focus learning efforts on mental imagery affect the game of a tennis player? It would take away from the effort needed to practice on the court. It would improve the player’s game. It would only help when combined with physical practice. It would interfere with the learning process that occurs during physical practice.

Answer 1

Answer:

It would improve the player’s game.

Explanation:

It appears that motor imagery (MI) contributes to the enhancement of motor performance in athletes. Evidence suggests that directing the athlete's attention to the effects of movement on the environment is better than focusing on the action per se. In this case, the game of a tennis player is improved due to the fact that the player focuses on mental imagery.
