BEHAVIORAL

Imagined Gait Intervention

Phone-based imagined gait intervention: participants will be called by the experimenter three times a week and be asked to imagine walking, imagine talking and imagine walking-while-talking. They will also be asked to rate their visual and kinesthetic qualities of their images on a 1-5 scale following each trial.

BEHAVIORAL

Visual Imagery Intervention

Phone-based visual imagery intervention: participants will be called three times a week by the experimenter and be asked to imagine concrete objects (e.g. octopus, teapot, and shovel). They will also be asked to rate their visual qualities of their images on a 1-5 scale following each trial.
