Assessment Description
Much attention was given to mental imagery in athletics (particularly
tennis) in the 1960s and 1970s under the heading of visualization as a way to
improve personal performance. The idea was to practice specific physical
actions and to visualize them being successfully completed without actually
doing them. In this assignment, you will revise your previous paper on mental
representations and present a position on the practice of visualizing
successful completion of physical activities.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the
assignment:
Refer to the Topic 3 assignment, “Mental Representations and
the Mind-Brain Relationship.”
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for
successful completion.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing
assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral level writing. The
Manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content,
clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.
This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly
research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation
from each source be included.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to
the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class
Resources if you need assistance.
Directions:
Part 1
Present a revised version (1,750-2,050 words total) of the paper “Mental
Representations and the Mind-Brain Relationship” that makes improvements in the
caliber of the writing and incorporates instructor feedback regarding content
and writing. Include the following in your submission:
A reflection (250-300 words) that provides a bulleted list of the
changes you made to the paper and discusses your revision process,
including how you incorporated your instructor’s feedback into the revised
version. Similar to an abstract, this section will receive its own page
following the title page and preceding the introduction to the paper.
The revised paper that incorporates instructor feedback; clarifies
the thesis statement and solidifies supporting arguments; edits for
grammar, spelling, and punctuation; adjusts word choice to display
professional and scholarly language; and adjusts sentence structure for
improved readability.
Part 2
Considering what you wrote regarding mental representations, write an
additional 1,000-1,250 words that presents a position in which you discuss
whether the practice of visualizing successful completion of physical
activities is “pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice
has research-supported underpinnings. Using current research, make
recommendations for improving the technique, or argue that it now is obsolete.
This section should flow naturally from the revised paper. So, you may also
need to revise your introduction and thesis statement to allow the ideas to
connect.
I will send instructors feedback shortly . Additionally, the previous paper has been uploaded
