transcription, транскрипция: [ ˌvɪzjuəlaɪˈzeɪʃən ]
noun (Lifestyle and Leisure) The technique of forming a mental picture or vision of something (particularly of a hoped-for event or outcome to a situation) as a psychological aid to confidence and achievement. Etymology: Formed by adding the noun suffix -ation to the verb visualize 'make visible, form an image of'. History and Usage: As a psychological term, visualization has been in use for most of the twentieth century, but has enjoyed a particular fashion in the fields of sports psychology and New Age philosophy in the eighties. A crystal that, combined with visualization, can be used like a pair of scissors or a knife, is the laser wand. Soozi Holbeche The Power of Gems & Crystals (1989), p. 93 Most competitors down the years have thought roughly about what they intended to do...Now visualisation of what is going to happen from the moment of arrival at the arena, through the warm-up process and then through every throw or jump is part of the detailed preparation by Backley and May. Backley describes it as self-hypnosis. Guardian 5 Aug. 1989, p. 19
