Mental rotation and visual familiarity [PDF]

open access: bronzePerception & Psychophysics, 1985
Mental rotation functions often evidence a curvilinear trend indicating relative indifference to small departures from the upright. In Experiment 1, this was true only for normal letters whereas reflected letters yielded a largely linear rotation function.

Gender stereotypes in preschoolers' mental rotation. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Psychol
The investigation of gender stereotypes constitutes a relevant approach to understanding the development of spatial ability and sex differences in the domain. This was the first study concerned with the presence of implicit and explicit gender stereotypes about spatial ability, and their potential relation to spatial task performance, in preschool-aged

Visual and Haptic Mental Rotation [PDF]

open access: goldi-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. On the one hand, it may be convenient to have a common system for acting with visual information.

Neurophysiology of embodied mental rotation: Event‐related potentials in a mental rotation task with human bodies as compared to alphanumeric stimuli

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, 2021
The present study examines if the neural signature of information processing in mental rotation tasks is moderated by stimulus characteristics (e.g., body‐related vs. non‐body‐related stimuli).

Can (perceived) mental-rotation performance mediate gender differences in math anxiety in adolescents and young adults?

open access: yesMathematics Education Research Journal, 2021
Math anxiety is a negative affective reaction in situations concerning mathematics and is related to poor math performance and a lower mathematical self-concept.

Manual training of mental rotation performance: Visual representation of rotating figures is the main driver for improvements

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2021
Studies have demonstrated that manual and mental rotation show common processes. Training studies have shown that a manual and concurrent visual rotation improves mental rotation performance.

Mental rotation of faces [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & 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.

Are developments in mental scanning and mental rotation related? [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2017
The development and relation of mental scanning and mental rotation were examined in 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-year old children and adults (N = 102). Based on previous findings from adults and ageing populations, the key question was whether they develop as a set of related abilities and become increasingly differentiated or are unrelated abilities per se ...

Motor processes in mental rotation [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 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.
