Why Successful Performance in Imagery Tasks Does not Require the Manipulation of Mental Imagery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nanay (2017) argues for unconscious mental imagery, inter alia based on the assumption that successful performance in imagery tasks requires the manipulation of mental imagery. I challenge this assumption with the help of results presented in Shepard and

A preliminary comparison of bellringer performance across three visual modalities for the assessment of anatomy knowledge

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy education is an inherently visual field, particularly in bellringer (BR) testing, which requires learners to identify anatomical structures on human‐donated specimens. While the traditional use of these physical specimens in BR testing has long remained the standard, three‐dimensional (3D) viewing in virtual reality platforms and two ...

Mental Rotation of Digitally-Rendered Haptic Objects

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019
Sensory substitution is an effective means to rehabilitate many visual functions after visual impairment or blindness. Tactile information, for example, is particularly useful for functions such as reading, mental rotation, shape recognition, or ...

Development of mental rotation in 3- to 5-year-old children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We assessed 3- to 5-year-olds’ mental rotation abilities using a new puzzle paradigm. It allows for assessment of mental rotation abilities in children younger than 5 years, using a task comparable to ones used with older children and adults.

Exploring the impact of virtual reality anatomy training on preparing biomedical illustrators for drawing anatomical structures

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐dimensional visualization technologies (3DVTs) in anatomy education are popular as they offer a cost‐effective and accessible alternative to cadaveric specimens. However, the literature presents conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of 3DVTs in facilitating learning compared with traditional models.

Mental rotation and object-spatial-verbal cognitive stiles

open access: yesRevista de Estudios e Investigación en Psicología y Educación, 2014
The aim of this study was to assess correlations between the Measure of the Ability to Rotate Mental Images (MARMI, Campos, 2012), an innovative mental imagery rotation test, and each of the three scales of the Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal ...

Novel application of gamification to support undergraduate anatomy: Student perceptions and performance

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy‐based games into undergraduate anatomy ...
