Mental rotation meets the motion aftereffect: the role of hV5/MT+ in visual mental imagery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A growing number of studies show that visual mental imagery recruits the same brain areas as visual perception. Although the necessity of hV5/MT+ for motion perception has been revealed by means of TMS, its relevance for motion imagery remains unclear ...

Strengthening spatial reasoning: elucidating the attentional and neural mechanisms associated with mental rotation skill development

open access: yesCognitive Research, 2020
Spatial reasoning is a critical skill in many everyday tasks and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The current study examined how training on mental rotation (a spatial reasoning task) impacts the completeness of an ...

Mental rotation performance in male soccer players. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
It is the main goal of this study to investigate the visual-spatial cognition in male soccer players. Forty males (20 soccer players and 20 non-athletes) solved a chronometric mental rotation task with both cubed and embodied figures (human figures, body

Intersection of reality and fiction in art perception: pictorial space, body sway and mental imagery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background The thesis of embodied cognition claims that perception of the environment entails a complex set of multisensory processes which forms a basis for the agent’s potential and immediate actions.

‘Mental rotation’ in depth as the superficial correlation of pictures

open access: yesMethods in Psychology, 2020
The Shepard-Metzler effect has been taken as evidence of a mental process of rotation in depth. Simple methods of image processing account for response time differences from the effect as well.

Mental Rotation is Not Easily Cognitively Penetrable [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
When participants take part in mental imagery experiments, are they using their "tacit knowledge" of perception to mimic what they believe should occur in the corresponding perceptual task?

Modelling mental rotation in cognitive robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mental rotation concerns the cognitive processes that allow an agent mentally to rotate the image of an object in order to solve a given task, for example to say if two objects with different orientations are the same or different.

Mirror-normal difference in the late phase of mental rotation: An ERP study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Mirror-normal letter discriminations are thought to require mental rotation in order to transform the rotated alphanumeric character into its canonical orientation.

Visual mental imagery during caloric vestibular stimulation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We investigated high-resolution mental imagery and mental rotation, while the participants received caloric vestibular stimulation. High-resolution visual mental imagery tasks have been shown to activate early visual cortex, which is deactivated by ...

Are developments in mental scanning and mental rotation related? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The development and relation of mental scanning and mental rotation were examined in 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-year old children and adults (N = 102). Based on previous findings from adults and ageing populations, the key question was whether they develop as a set ...
