Deconstructing mental rotation.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2014A random walk model of the classical mental rotation task is explored in two experiments. By assuming that a mental rotation is repeated until sufficient evidence for a match/mismatch is obtained, the model accounts for the approximately linearly increasing reaction times (RTs) on positive trials, flat RTs on negative trials, false alarms and miss ...

On Mental Rotation in Three Dimensions
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1997Real 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).

Mental rotation in a commissurotomized subject
Neuropsychologia, 1989The commissurotomized subject L.B. showed a strong right-hemispheric advantage on a task requiring him to judge rotated letters normal or backward, but a left-hemispheric advantage in a task requiring discrimination of the same letters, implying that the right-hemispheric advantage has to do with mental rotation.

Functional Neuroanatomy of Mental Rotation
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009Abstract 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 ...

Developmental changes in mental rotation
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1980Abstract Subjects from Grades 3, 4, 6, and college judged whether pairs of stimuli were identical or mirror-image reversals. One stimulus of a pair was presented upright; the other was rotated 0 to 150° from the standard. The pairs were either alphanumeric symbols or unfamiliar, letter-like characters of the type found on the PMA Spatial Ability Test.

Mental rotation of tactile stimuli
Cognitive Brain Research, 2002When subjects decide whether two visual stimuli presented in various orientations are identical or mirror-images, reaction time increases with the angular disparity between the stimuli. The interpretation of this well-known observation is that subjects mentally rotate images of the stimuli until they are in congruence, in order to solve the task.

Effects of Mental and Manual Rotation Training on Mental and Manual Rotation Performance [PDF]
Spatial Cognition & 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.

Males outperform females in mental-rotation for various reasons, e.g. stimuli characteristics. This study tested the hypothesis that girls and boys solve mental-rotation tests with female- or respectively male-stereotyped objects faster and more ...

Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019
The development of math reasoning and 3-d mental rotation skills are intertwined. However, it is currently not understood how these cognitive processes develop and interact longitudinally at the within-person level – either within or across genders.

The advantage of mentally rotating clockwise
Brain and Cognition, 2011The time taken to decide whether a character is shown in its mirror or normal version has been shown to increase approximately linearly with the angular departure from an up-right position. Additionally, in some studies, decisions took longer for clockwise tilted characters than for counterclockwise tilted ones.
