概要 This study investigated the association between working memory (WM) and gait motor imagery and focused on the individual differences in young adults. The linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that visuo-spatial WM ability was a significant predictor of the accuracy of gait motor imagery, but not of verbal WM ability. Further, gait motor imagery was not as accurate as actual walking even in the easiest path width or in participants with high visuo-spatial WM ability. These results suggest that visuo-spatial WM is related to motor imagery rather than actual movement.
