This is an example of which of the following? Select one:a. Imageryb. Diffusionc. Remodelingd. Self-monitoring

Answer 1

Answer:

Imagery

Explanation:

In sport psychology, the term imagery makes reference to the act by which the client or athlete imagine himself/herself in an scenery performing the desire activity and using all his senses in doing so. This technique helps the client motivate himself to reach his/her goal.

In this example, a client is losing motivation so the trainer recommends to spend time before the next session reflecting on the feelings of accomplishment, sounds and smells of the last session. We can see that the trainer is engaging the client in using all his senses to remember last session (hearing, smell, feelings) and therefore, this is an example of imagery.
