The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Measuring motor imagery ability: A review (2008, methodology): “…on imagery and motor performance were forced to rely on general vividness questionnaires, such as the Questionnaire Upon Mental Imagery (QMI; Betts, 1909; Sheehan, 1967) or questionnaires relating to visual imagery only, such as the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ; Marks, 1973).”
Motor imagery and action observation: cognitive tools for rehabilitation (2007, background): “Some studies using fMRI also found activation in the primary motor cortex (Porro et al. 1996, 2000; Roth et al. 1996; Gerarding et al. 2000, see also Sharma et al. 2006).”
Best practice for motor imagery: a systematic literature review on motor imagery training elements in five different disciplines (2011, methodology): “The MI technique has been adopted in other research areas (education, medicine, music and sports), where the beneficial effect of MI added to PP has been confirmed, and 27 reviews summarise the research findings in those fields [1-27].”
Cognitive motor processes: the role of motor imagery in the study of motor representations. (2009, background): “Nonetheless, some ingenious protocols address these concerns (Sharma et al., 2006; Sirigu et al., 1996), and their results further support the general effect found in other motor imagery studies.”
