Course Overview

Mental training, or the practice of visualizing a task before execution, can improve a person's performance. (Michael Jordan is one famous example.) However, what kinds of tasks are sensitive to mental training? This psychology course considers a range of studies on mental training, and examines how positive visualization affects performance, both cognitive and physical. Discover how—and why—visualizing a task before actually performing it not only sharpens focus, but improves ability itself.
