Abstract

In this commentary on Kraeutner et al.'s (2018) paper we first outline a popular theoretical framework, which is useful for conceptualising their findings. We then discuss the implications of their data for contemporary perspectives on imagery ability, which promote an individualised account. Finally, we describe novel methodologies for enhancing imagery ability within this context. According to Jeannerod's (2006) principle of functional equivalence, executing, imagining and observing action involves motor regions in the brain that at least partially overlap with one another.
