Summary

The aim of this investigation is to measure if additional pedagogical techniques (Action Observation and Motor Imagery) improve student's ability to identify anatomical structures compared to traditional teaching techniques.

Conditions

  • Motor Imagery
  • Action Observation

Interventions

OTHER

Action Observation

Action observation is defined as watching human movement either via a pre-recorded video or a live demonstration (Eaves et al, 2022). In the current study action observation will be via a pre-recorded video. Eaves, D.L., Hodges, N.J., Buckingham, G., Buccino, G. and Vogt, S., 2022. Enhancing motor imagery practice using synchronous action observation. Psychological Research, pp.1-17.

OTHER

Motor Imagery

Motor imagery practice is defined as the structured engagement in motor imagery over time for the purpose of acquiring and enhancing motor skills (Eaves et al, 2022).
