Strengthening spatial reasoning: elucidating the attentional and neural mechanisms associated with mental rotation skill development [PDF]
Cognitive Research, 2020 Spatial reasoning is a critical skill in many everyday tasks and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The current study examined how training on mental rotation (a spatial reasoning task) impacts the completeness of an ...

Mental Rotation is Not Easily Cognitively Penetrable [PDF]
Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2010 When participants take part in mental imagery experiments, are they using their "tacit knowledge" of perception to mimic what they believe should occur in the corresponding perceptual task?

Visual and Haptic Mental Rotation [PDF]
i-Perception, 2011 It is well known that visual information can be retained in several types of memory systems. Haptic information can also be retained in a memory because we can repeat a hand movement. There may be a common memory system for vision and action.

Spatial anxiety mediates the sex difference in adult mental rotation test performance
Cognitive Research, 2020 Mental rotation ability is associated with successful advances in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and occupations. Meta-analyses have shown consistent sex disparities in mental rotation, where men outperform women on ...

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.

A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Examination of the Neural Correlates of Mental Rotation for Individuals With Different Depressive Tendencies [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 The present study aimed to examine the neural mechanisms underlying the ability to process the mental rotation with mirrored stimuli for different depressive tendencies with psychomotor retardation. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we

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
