Notwithstanding support and criticism of each of these theories, together they provide a foundation that continues to guide the development and refinement of imagery research and therefore warrant exploration and explanation. As such, several theories have been proposed (psychoneuromuscular, bioinformational, triple code). Despite the appeal of the simplistic explanation, a deeper understanding of how imagery works is necessary. Through a combination of imagery sub-processes, such as image transformation (e.g., rotation of an image), scanning (e.g., detecting details of an image), and maintenance (e.g., sustaining an image for some time), vivid and controllable images are generated. When individuals image they first retrieve information from memory to create or recreate an experience in their mind (Morris, Spittle, & Watt, 2005). For many years, researchers have been interested in the way in which imagery is used and applied by individuals.
