As for the use of imagined positive reinforcer, that seems very similar to covert positive reinforcement (part of covert conditioning) which should be easy to find scientific tests on if you have access to libraries.
The only difference here is that the behavior itself is not imagined.
Whoops, I misread that last line as “The only difference here is that the reward itself is not imagined.” Thanks for catching that.
