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.

Effect of dynamic balance on human mental rotation task in female badminton vs. volleyball players [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 BackgroundThe present study aims to compare the mental rotation performance between two non-contact sports (i.e., badminton and volleyball) in different upright conditions (i.e., with and without dynamic balance).MethodsThirty-five female sports and ...

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.

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.

Mental rotation of faces [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1988 The effect of orientation upon face recognition was explored in two experiments, which used a procedure adapted from the mental rotation literature. In the first experiment, a linear increase in the RT of same-different judgments was found as the second of a pair of sequentially presented faces was rotated away from the vertical.
