In NLP, it's called "modeling". Other schools speak of "acting as-if".
The key distinction between these concepts and the common conception of self-deception, pretending, or acting, is that when ou are acting-as-if, you are not allowed to signal that you're only pretending.
That is, you must suspend your own disbelief, for others to suspend theirs.
