Effects of Mental and Manual Rotation Training on Mental and Manual Rotation Performance

Spatial Cognition and Computation, 2014
Abstract:Previous research has shown that training can improve mental rotation performance and has found connections between mental and manual rotation. Here we examine how practice in mental or manual (virtual) rotation, affects performance on mental and manual rotation tasks, compared to a control condition.

Toward a chronopsychophysiology of mental rotation

Psychophysiology, 2002
In a parity judgment task, the ERPs at parietal electrode sites become the more negative the more mental rotation has to be executed. In two experiments, it was investigated whether a temporal relationship exists between the onset of this amplitude modulation and the moment when mental rotation is executed.

Mental rotation in schizophrenia

Consciousness and Cognition, 2006
Motor imagery provides a direct insight into action representations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the level of impairment of action monitoring in schizophrenia by evaluating the performance of schizophrenic patients on mental rotation tasks.

The mental rotation flap

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2011
Two types of random pattern rotation flaps around the chin are described for the closure of small to moderate defects of the lateral chin. Over an 18 month period (September 2007-April 2008) three patients with a mean age of 74 years had skin cancers excised as an outpatient under local anaesthetic, leaving skin defects from 2.0×1.9 cm to 1.9×2.9 cm ...

What is rotated in mental rotation?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1984
Two hypotheses regarding mental rotation were contrasted. If subjects rotate each stimulus image to the upright (the image rotation hypothesis), then response time should depend solely on the extent of angular deviation from the upright. But if subjects rotate their frame of reference to match that of the disoriented stimulus (the frame rotation ...

Functional Neuroanatomy of Mental Rotation

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
Abstract Brain regions involved in mental rotation were determined by assessing increases in fMRI activation associated with increases in stimulus rotation during a mirror-normal parity-judgment task with letters and digits. A letter–digit category judgment task was used as a control for orientation-dependent neural processing unrelated ...

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.

Handedness and Mental Rotation

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
Handedness and mental rotation test scores were examined by sex and generation for 801 individuals in 200 families. An orderly relationship between bilateralization of function on the hand preference task and mental rotation test scores was found.

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).
