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

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

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 ...

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.

Men’s and women’s egocentric and allocentric knowledge: The involvement of mental rotation ability and spatial beliefs [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 Individual factors can play a relevant role in explaining gender differences in environmental learning in terms of visuospatial abilities and beliefs about spatial abilities, such as stereotypes and growth mindset about navigation ability. In this study,

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.

Enhanced effective connectivity from the middle frontal gyrus to the parietal lobe is associated with impaired mental rotation after total sleep deprivation: An electroencephalogram study [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Sleep deprivation impairs cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and decision-making. Studies on the neuro-electro-physiological mechanisms underlying total sleep deprivation (TSD) that impairs spatial cognition are limited.

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.
