The current study aimed to determine the effect of audiovisual imagery on performance in the conditions of high and low kinesthetic imagery ability. For this purpose, 42 right-handed novice female After assessing kinesthetic imagery ability using the MIQ-3 imagery questionnaire, were randomly divided into 4 groups of visual-low kinesthetic imaging ability, visual-high kinesthetic imagery ability, audiovisual- low kinesthetic imagery ability, audiovisual-high kinesthetic imagery ability groups. In order to create an auditory pattern, the angular velocity of the shoulder joint of a skilled person in the badminton long serve skill was recorded and converted into sound based on the frequency characteristic change. The subjects participated in 4 practice sessions of 40 attempts, and then retention and transfer tests were performed after 48 hours. In each session, the visual groups received the visual pattern 10 times, and the audiovisual groups received the audiovisual pattern of the skilled person for 10 times, and The subjects performed 20 imagery attempts and 40 real practices. In order to record the performance accuracy of badminton long serve, Scott and Fox standard test was used. Factorial variance analysis was used to compare the performance of the groups in the acquisition sessions. In order to compare performance in retention and transfer tests, One-way ANOVA test was used. The results showed that the performance of the audiovisual imagery groups was better than the visual groups, especially the visual-low kinetic imagery ability group in the acquisition sessions, retention and transfer tests. The superiority of the audiovisual condition is most likely due to the auditory information presented in this research being closely related to the kinesthetic sense of movement. Since the ability of kinetic imagery is the ability of a person to imagery skill in a way that creates a sense of movement in a person, and on the other hand, this sense of movement exists in the audiovisual, this synergy has led to the development of performance. These results clearly stated that the use of audiovisual imagery based on motor sonification has resulted in more skill development than visual imagery in combination with physical practice.
