Abstract
Abstract Mental imagery is a form of perceptual representation: the first stop in perceptual processing that is not triggered directly by sensory input. Motor imagery is not perceptual representation. It is motor representation. It is the last stop in motor processing that does not directly trigger bodily action. The relation between motor imagery and mental imagery is examined as well as the role played by motor imagery in action execution.
