The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the accuracy of movement imagery and the skill level. It can be supposed that movement imagery has two aspects, the one is goal-movement imagery and the other is self-movement imagery. In this study, these two aspects were exmined. The subjects were 83 male undergraduate and senior high school students. They were divided into five groups according to skill levels(skill levels 1:10,2:24,3:19,4:16,5:14). The task was handspring in gymnastics skill. Accuracy of movement imagery was measured by an imagery test developed for this skill. The results indicated a significant correlation between the test score and skill levels(goal-movement imagery:r=0.33, self-movement imagery:r=0.46). And the subjects at skill level 3 who have a gross form of this skill had a significantly higher score than those at skill level 2 in goal-movement imagery, but a significant lower score than skill levels 4 and 5 in self-movement imagery. This indicated that they have accurate goal-movement imagery, but inaccurate self-movement imagery. This suggested that seif-movement imagery plays an important role in acquisition of a higher level of this skill. But there was a nonsignificant correlation between vividness of movement imagery and the test score(goal-movement imagery:r=0.18, self-movement imagery:r=0.16). This indicated that vivid movement imagery dose not always reflect accurate movement imagery.
