Abstract

Review question

What do we understand about the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities to engage with mental imagery (the generation, maintenance, inspection, and transformation of mental images)?

What do we understand about the phenomenology of mental images in people with intellectual disabilities?
Searches
Sources that will be used to identify studies for the systematic review:

Bibliographic databases:

AMED, BNI, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycINFO
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials will also be searched.

Unpublished studies will be sought and the grey literature included as part of my search strategy:
- ETHoS (UK research theses)
- Google Scholar will be searched and the first 100 links examined for relevance to this study
- Conference Proceedings Index (via Web of Science)
- GreyNet

The order in which these platforms will be searched is as follows:
1. Bibliographic databases
2. ETHoS
3. Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
4. Google Scholar
5. Conference Proceedings Index (via Web of Science)
6. GreyNet

The reference lists of eligible studies and review articles, key journals, conference proceedings and trials registers will also be searched. Key authors and experts within the field will be proactively contacted to identify any unpublished or prospective studies meeting inclusion criteria.

No restrictions on language will be made
Search dates 1 January 1980 to present.
Searches will be re-run prior to the final analysis
Types of study to be included
All types of studies will be included. This includes randomised-control trials, qualitative studies, cohort studies, case control studies, cross sectional studies, case reports and series, reviews, opinions, editorial and letters.
