Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the imagery functions and situations associated with the use of cognitive general (CG) imagery in curling based on the four Ws of imagery use and the revised applied model of deliberate imagery use. Fourteen competitive and recreational curlers ( Mage = 57.57, SD = 19.94) who play the skip position (i.e., direct the strategy of the game) were recruited from local curling clubs. The curlers reported using CG imagery to serve both cognitive (i.e., CG) and motivational (i.e., motivational general arousal and motivational general mastery) functions during competition, practice, and while spectating. The results support the revised applied model of deliberate imagery use in that CG imagery use differed according to the personal meaning associated with the CG images employed by various curlers.
