Answer to Question 1

Answer: Usually imagery involves the motor cortex because participants are asked to manipulate an object in their mind. However, when asked to perform a mental rotation task with an electric motor rotating the objects, the motor cortex is not active.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Research evidence indicates that motor imagery uses the same processes involved in programming and preparation of actual actions. As a result, motor imagery has a positive effect on subsequent performances.
