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.

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

Neuroimaging Studies of Mental Rotation: A Meta-analysis and Review [PDF]
, 2007 & Mental rotation is a hypothesized imagery process that has inspired controversy regarding the substrate of human spatial reasoning. Two central questions about mental rotation remain: Does mental rotation depend on analog spatial representations ...

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

A general spatial transformation process? Assessing the neurophysiological evidence on the similarity of mental rotation and folding [PDF]
NeuroImage: Reports, 2022 Mental rotation and mental folding are established as archetypal mental spatial transformation tasks. Yet, it is uncertain as to whether these tasks rely on a general spatial transformation mechanism or on dedicated processes.

Mental Rotation Meets the Motion Aftereffect: The Role of hV5/MT+ in Visual Mental Imagery [PDF]
, 2010 A growing number of studies show that visual mental imagery recruits the same brain areas as visual perception. Although the necessity of hV5/MT+ for motion perception has been revealed by means of TMS, its relevance for motion imagery remains unclear ...

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.
