Motor processes in mental rotation [PDF]
Cognition, 1997 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.

An early sex difference in the relation between mental rotation and object preference [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Accumulating evidence suggests that males outperform females on mental rotation tasks as early as infancy. Sex differences in object preference have also been shown to emerge early in development and precede sex-typed play in childhood. Although research

A Novel Approach to Assessing Infant and Child Mental Rotation [PDF]
Journal of Intelligence, 2023 Mental rotation is a critically important, early developing spatial skill that is related to other spatial cognitive abilities. Understanding the early development of this skill, however, requires a developmentally appropriate assessment that can be used

The influence of motor expertise on gender difference in adolescents’ object-based and egocentric mental rotation ability [PDF]
BMC PsychologyBackground Gender differences in mental rotation are well established. However, conflicting results were reported when gender was shown to interact with sport expertise and different task transformations in adolescents’ mental rotation.

Degraded Visibility Body-Specifically Affects Mental Rotation [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesThe way we perceive our own body is shaped by our perception. Changes in sensory input, such as visual degradation, can lead to visual-to-motor shifts in the reference frame used to mentally represent the body.

The impact of presentation modes on mental rotation processing: a comparative analysis of eye movements and performance [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMental rotation is the ability to rotate mental representations of objects in space. Shepard and Metzler’s shape-matching tasks, frequently used to test mental rotation, involve presenting pictorial representations of 3D objects.
