Spatial anxiety mediates the sex difference in adult mental rotation test performance
Cognitive Research, 2020 Mental rotation ability is associated with successful advances in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and occupations. Meta-analyses have shown consistent sex disparities in mental rotation, where men outperform women on ...

Does left-right discrimination ability of adults change with age?
Journal of Human Environmental Studies, 2020 Age-related changes in left-right discrimination, which mainly reflect visuospatial processing, were investigated. We developed a modified version of the Money Road-Map Test (MRMT: Money et al., 1965), which assesses the accuracy of left-right ...

The Effect of Motor and Cognitive Experiences on Mental Rotation Ability in Boys [PDF]
رشد و یادگیری حرکتی ورزشی, 2015 Mental rotation is the ability to imagine how an object will look if rotated away from the orientation in comparison with the one which is actually presented. That is a component of spatial abilities.

Exploring block construction and mental imagery: Evidence of atypical orientation discrimination in Williams syndrome [PDF]
, 2004 The visuo-spatial perceptual abilities of individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) were investigated in two experiments. Experiment 1 measured the ability of participants to discriminate between oblique and between nonoblique orientations.

Is there a threshold for mental rotation? [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1986 A threshold-like nonlinearity was found in a mental rotation experiment designed for relatively heavy sampling of small angular disparities. The value of the threshold in this experiment appeared to be around 15°. Results of a control experiment were that subjects easily discriminated orientations differing by as little as 6° using the same stimulus ...

Sex Differences in Gains Among Hispanic Pre-kindergartners’ Mental Rotation Skills
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 The current study explores change in mental rotation skills throughout the pre-kindergarten year in a Hispanic population to better understand the development of early sex differences in mental rotation. Ninety-six Hispanic children (M = 4 years 8 months)
