While the behavioral effects of self\u2010talk are clear, research on the mechanisms underpinning the effects of different modes of self\u2010talk is sparse. To address this issue, we propose and test a psychophysiological model of the effects of self\u2010talk on motor performance. Forty golf novices practiced a golf putting task while using either instructional or motivational self\u2010talk preceding each putt. We measured performance (radial error), technique (club kinematics and muscle activity), cardiac activity (heart\u2010rate and event\u2010related heart\u2010rate change), as well as electroencephalographic alpha power and connectivity in a randomized (group: instructional self\u2010talk, motivational self\u2010talk) experimental design. Instructional self\u2010talk promoted superior technique and was associated with greater parietal alpha power and weaker connectivity between frontal and parietal electrodes and all other scalp sites, possibly indicative of increased top\u2010down control of action. These findings provide initial evidence for an information\u2010processing mechanism underlying the benefits of instructional self\u2010talk. They also cast doubt on the validity of left\u2010frontotemporal connectivity as a measure of verbal\u2010analytic processing during motor tasks. Motivational self\u2010talk led to increased heart\u2010rate and reduced event\u2010related heart rate variability, suggesting an effort\u2010based mechanism to explain the benefits of motivational self\u2010talk. Our study represents the most complete multi\u2010measure investigation of self\u2010talk to date. We hope that our psychophysiological model of self\u2010talk will encourage researchers to move beyond the exclusive reliance on behavioral and self\u2010report measures to discover the mechanisms underlying the benefits of self\u2010talk for performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.13586","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,15]],"date-time":"2020-05-15T16:32:44Z","timestamp":1589560364000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Mind and body: Psychophysiological profiles of instructional and motivational self\u2010talk"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2928-5778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Bellomo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bangor University Bangor United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2341-812X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Cooke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bangor University Bangor United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2180-8848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Germano","family":"Gallicchio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Birmingham Birmingham United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Ring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Birmingham Birmingham United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Hardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bangor University Bangor United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1123\/tsp.2016-0162"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.conb.2006.03.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpsycho.2011.09.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4278\/0890-1171-12.1.8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neubiorev.2013.05.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2015.02.025"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469-8986.3860912"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","volume-title":"Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences","author":"Cohen J.","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/9609.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.12414"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.12182"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8986.2011.01175.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8986.2010.01021.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/psyp.13064"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.58.2.330"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2003.10.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/spy0000055"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/spy0000077"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsycho.2014.12.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","first-page":"243","volume-title":"The nature of emotion: fundamental questions","author":"Gray J.
