Mental rotation and perceptual uprightness [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1978 Performance in Cooper and Shepard’s (1973) mental rotation task was examined in the context of a model that defined the extent to which alphabet letters could be tilted from their normal orientation and still be perceptually upright. For letters with a broad range of orientations for which they remain perceptually upright, a nonlinear effect of ...

‘Mental rotation’ in depth as the superficial correlation of pictures
Methods 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 in Human Infants: A Sex Difference [PDF]
, 2008 A sex difference on mental-rotation tasks has been demonstrated repeatedly, but not in children less than 4 years of age. To demonstrate mental rotation in human infants, we habituated 5-month-old infants to an object revolving through a 240° angle.
