Abstract

Motor imagery is widely studied, including through posturalcontrol research methods. However, despite a large number of studiesdevoted to mental performance of motor actions and metaphor comprehension,no direct comparison has been made between mental performance ofmotor and metaphorical actions. The aim of this study was to comparestabilometric characteristics of subjects during mental performanceof motor and metaphorical actions. The study involved 36 healthysubjects (18–30 years old). The subjects’ task was to mentally performpresented actions while standing on a stabilotrainer. Absolute andrelative (relative to baseline recording with eyes open) valuesof parameters such as center of pressure trajectory length, centerof pressure displacement velocity, and statokinesiogram area weremeasured. Comparison of absolute and relative parameters revealedno statistically significant differences, which could be explainedby the heterogeneity of the overall group. Using Ward’s clusteranalysis, two groups were identified, conditionally named “motor”(25 subjects, 69.4%) and “metaphorical” (11 subjects, 30.6%). Bothgroups were characterized by a postural destabilization effect duringmental performance of motor actions compared to baseline, and byan increase in stabilometric parameter values toward the end ofthe study compared to the beginning. The “motor” group was characterizedby larger absolute and relative parameter values during mental performanceof motor actions and the presence of a destabilization effect duringmental performance of motor actions. The “metaphorical” group wascharacterized by larger absolute and relative parameter values duringmental performance of metaphorical actions and the presence of adestabilization effect during mental performance of metaphoricalactions. Compared to the “motor” group, the “metaphorical” groupshowed a greater increase in stabilometric parameter values overtime. Based on the results of the study, it can be hypothesizedthat visual imagery may predominate during mental performance ofmetaphorical actions in the “motor” group, and that the cognitivecomponent of imagery has a greater influence during mental performanceof metaphorical actions in the “metaphorical” group.
