“…As predicted, however, positively imagined objects appear to have captured early attention due to an increase in positive value. This is in line with recent work suggesting that mental imagery can affect the evaluation of reallife environments (Benoit, Paulus, & Schacter, 2019;Paulus et al, 2021). Paulus et al (2021), as mentioned previously, demonstrated that imagining an interaction with liked or disliked individuals at an initially neutral place changes a person's attitude toward that place in the respective direction.…”

“…Also referred to as motivated attention (Lang, Bradley, & Cuthbert, 1997), this type of attention bias has been seen for positive stimuli as well as for neutral stimuli with an acquired positive value (Pool et al, 2016). Recently, Paulus, Dabas, Felber, and Benoit (2021) showed that vividly imagining an interaction with liked or disliked people at neutral places shapes individuals' attitudes toward the places in the respective direction. This imagery-based evaluative conditioning (Hofmann, Houwer, Perugini, Baeyens, & Crombez, 2010) may also take place during positive imagery of prospective activities, during which activities are learned to be associated with positive emotions.…”

Positively imagined activities may capture visual attention due to an increase in positive value. Increasing attention toward activities, in turn, may prove useful for clinical interventions aiming to motivate behavioral engagement. Employing a within-subject experimental design, we examined the effect of positive imagery on attention using a visual probe task with concurrent eye tracking. Adults from the general population (N = 54) imagined performing activities involving visually presented objects in a positive (focusing on the positive emotional impact) or neutral (focusing on a neutral circumstance) manner. They then completed a visual probe task using picture stimuli depicting one object per type of imagery. Positive compared to neutral imagery increased self-reported behavioral motivation and biased the direction, but not the duration, of gaze toward objects associated with the imagined activities. An exploratory analysis showed a positive association between the direction bias and depressive symptoms. Our findings build on existing literature on positive imagery as a motivational amplifier by highlighting early attention as an underlying cognitive mechanism.

“…Interestingly, visual attention can be biased regardless of whether stimulus-reward pairings are previously trained or merely instructed without additional training (Tibboel & Liefooghe, 2020 ). Paulus et al ( 2022 ) further demonstrated that vividly imagining an interaction with liked or disliked people at neutral places shapes individuals’ attitudes toward the places in the respective direction. This imagery-based evaluative conditioning (Hofmann et al, 2010 ) may also take place during positive imagery of prospective activities, during which activities are associated with positive emotions.…”

Background and PurposePhysiotherapy is gaining a central role in oncology. However, the training and competencies needed by physiotherapists in oncology rehabilitation are still unclear. This study aims to articulate the training trajectory of physiotherapists in oncology rehabilitation from entry‐level education to advanced education degrees.MethodsQualitative focus group study following a ‘Reflexive Thematic Analysis’ for data analysis. Participants were Italian physiotherapists with expertise in Oncology Rehabilitation (either clinically or academically) and Physiotherapy Bachelor of Science (BSc) course leaders, selected through purposive sampling.ResultsTwo focus groups were conducted with 14 participants. Six themes were developed: 1. ‘Entry‐Level Education in Oncology Rehabilitation: Let's Have a Taste’, as the BSc introduces oncology rehabilitation. 2. ‘Basic Knowledge: Building up the Library’ as students acquire basic knowledge on oncology rehabilitation during their BSc; 3. ‘Learning by Experience: The Relevance of the Placement’ to answer the question “Is this the right road for me?”; 4. ‘Clinical Reasoning and Competencies in Oncology Rehabilitation Embedded in Uncertainty’ because oncology physiotherapists need to deal with the uncertainty of their patients' status; 5. ‘Advanced Education Degree Skills: from Appetiser to the Main Course’, as advanced education degree courses allow for becoming an expert in the field; 6. ‘A Call to Action for Physiotherapists: Prevention—Diagnosis—Survivorship & End of Life’, to realise their critical role in all the phases of the oncology path.ConclusionsThe BSc in Physiotherapy provides a foundation for future physiotherapists to understand oncology rehabilitation, but advanced education is necessary for expertise. The findings of this study have important implications for creating a shared physiotherapy curriculum in oncology rehabilitation.Implication for Physiotherapy PracticeThis study has significant implications for improving physiotherapy curricula in oncology rehabilitation, positively impacting the skills and competencies of practitioners in this paramount field.
