Motor processes in mental rotation [PDF]
Cognition, 1998 Much indirect evidence supports the hypothesis that transformations of mental images are at least in part guided by motor processes, even in the case of images of abstract objects rather than of body parts. For example, rotation may be guided by processes that also prime one to see results of a specific motor action.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2000
The study reported here considers the effect of rotation on the decision time taken to compare nonrigid objects, presented as like and unlike pairs of knots and unknots. The results for 48 subjects, 21 to 45 years old, support the notion that images which have a characteristic 'foundation part' are more easily stored and accessed in the brain.

The Roles of Mental Representations and Mental Processes in Therapeutic Action
The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, 1993In this paper we describe two models of the psychoanalytic treatment of mental disturbance. The first describes the mechanism by which the patient is helped to recover threatening ideas and feelings which have been repudiated or distorted as a result of conflict and defense.

Computer Modeling of Mental Processes
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1987To the Editor.— Hoffman's1article Pro– vides rich food for thought for those interested in mind-brain function. The "popcorn" analogy to neuronal energy minima states is a clear and easy way to explain how "macro" knowledge structures are processed differently in the two psychopathologic states.

Mental Processes Are Neuro-mental Processes
2016Mental processes (judgment, thinking) are not possible without concepts. Concepts are not only words with nonverbal (perceptual) and verbal meanings but also memory structures that exist in the brain. Therefore, mental processes are neuro-mental.

Mental Hospitalization as a Reinforcement Process
American Sociological Review, 1974The number of times individuals diagnosed as schizophrenic are hospitalized varies greatly. Four theoretical models are proposed to account for the variation. The positive reinforcement model proposes that individuals are positively reinforced at each episode, and is consonant with theories of institutionalization.

Cortical simplicity and mental processes
Medical Hypotheses, 1996The cerebral cortex can be looked upon as a non-linear system of coupled oscillators that tries to resist desynchronization and seeks to optimize the activity distribution of its elements. Cortical self-optimization can be disturbed by incoming nervous activity and the cortex will compensate for it by reorganizing the state of the soma, thus producing ...
