Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is the difference between a cognitive and a somatic strategy?
Model answer
A cognitive strategy works on the mind to reduce worry. A somatic strategy works on the body to reduce physiological arousal.
- 2
What is mental rehearsal, also called mental practice?
Model answer
Mental rehearsal is going through a skill in the mind without moving. Mental rehearsal builds confidence and strengthens the motor programme.
- 3
How does mental rehearsal reduce anxiety?
Model answer
The performer rehearses success in advance, so the real event feels familiar. Familiarity lowers the sense of threat and cognitive anxiety.
- 4
What is visualisation?
Model answer
Visualisation is creating a clear mental picture of a successful performance or a calm place. The picture replaces anxious thoughts.
- 5
What is imagery?
Model answer
Imagery is recreating an experience in the mind using all the senses. Kinaesthetic imagery recalls how a movement feels.
- 6
What is the difference between internal and external imagery?
Model answer
Internal imagery sees the action through the performer's own eyes. External imagery watches the performance from outside, as if on video.
