This study investigated the relationships between visual and haptic imagery of movement. A total of 338 subjects, all university students aged between 18 and 26 years, completed the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire, which evaluates capacity for visual imaging, and a modification of this questionnaire, the Vividness of Haptic Movement Imagery Questionnaire, designed to evaluate capacity for haptic imaging. Scores on the two questionnaires were significantly correlated .60.
