Gender Differences in Mental Rotation

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994
Two experiments were carried out to compare the performance of male and female students at different educational levels on tasks that required mental rotation. Exp. 1 also compared their performance on an overt, male-typed version and a disguised, female-typed version of the same task.

Mental rotation by the blind: Does mental rotation depend on visual imagery?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
Congentially blind adventitiously blind, and blindfolded sighted adults made same-different judgments of pairs of tactile forms. Two forms were presented in the same orientation, or one form differed from the other by a clockwise rotation of 30 degrees, 60 degrees, 120 degrees, or 150 degrees.

What Does Physical Rotation Reveal About Mental Rotation?

Psychological Science, 2013
In a classic psychological science experiment, Shepard and Metzler (1971) discovered that the time participants took to judge whether two rotated abstract block figures were identical increased monotonically with the figures’ relative angular disparity.

Mental Object Rotation

Study comparing mental object rotation with egocentric body transformation in experts (dancers) and non-experts (predominantly Psychology students). The study showed that there is no sign. advantage for dancers, but that inverted stimuli are processed faster than predicted.

Mental rotation: An event-related potential study with a validated mental rotation task

Brain and Cognition, 1989
Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded while subjects performed a validated mental rotation task, taken from the cognitive psychology literature. These ERPs show a late posterior negativity relative to a baseline condition requiring all of the same perceptual and cognitive processes except for the mental rotation itself.

Mental rotation, physical rotation, and surface media.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1992
Subjects made mirror-normal discriminations on alphanumeric characters shown in different orientations in the picture plane. Either the characters or the background rotated during stimulus presentation in Experiments 1-3. Character rotation in the direction of mental rotation facilitated mental rotation, whereas rotation in the opposite direction ...

Saccades to mentally rotated targets

Experimental Brain Research, 1999
In order to investigate the role of mental rotation in the directional control of eye movements, we instructed subjects to make saccades in directions different from that of a visual stimulus (rotated saccades). Saccadic latency increased linearly with the amount of directional transformation imposed between the stimulus and the response. This supports

Time-resolved fMRI of mental rotation

NeuroReport, 1997
Time-resolved fMRI seeks to elucidate neuronal activity during a single execution of a mental task, which corresponds typically to a timescale of seconds. However, this is also the timescale of the hemodynamic response, which delays and blurs the signal in time.

On Mental Rotation in Three Dimensions

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1997
Real three-dimensional models and three-dimensional images were used in a test of mental rotation. Although the 33 men performed better than the 33 women when presented three-dimensional images (14.4 and 11.2), this sex difference disappeared when real models were used (17.5 and 17.3).
