Visual and Haptic Mental Rotation

i-Perception, 2011
It is well known that visual information can be retained in several types of memory systems. Haptic information can also be retained in a memory because we can repeat a hand movement. There may be a common memory system for vision and action.

The role of rotational hand movements and general motor ability in children’s mental rotation performance

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Mental rotation of visual images of body parts and abstract shapes can be influenced by simultaneous motor activity. Children in particular seem to have a strong coupling between motor and cognitive processes.

No role of working memory in the relation between mental rotation and postural stability

Frontiers in Cognition
This study investigated the relationship between mental rotation ability and postural stability, with a focus on the role of the visuospatial sketchpad of working memory, as it has been found to be correlated with both concepts.

Enhanced effective connectivity from the middle frontal gyrus to the parietal lobe is associated with impaired mental rotation after total sleep deprivation: An electroencephalogram study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Sleep deprivation impairs cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and decision-making. Studies on the neuro-electro-physiological mechanisms underlying total sleep deprivation (TSD) that impairs spatial cognition are limited.

Spatial abilities in Down syndrome: a comparison of mental rotation and perspective taking

Frontiers in Developmental Psychology
IntroductionMental rotation and spatial perspective taking are two key spatial abilities and are integral to one's everyday life. This study compared performance on these two abilities between adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome (DS) and ...

Deficiency in Mental Rotation of Upper and Lower-Limbs in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis and Its Relation With Cognitive Functions

Acta Medica Iranica, 2016
Mental rotation is a cognitive motor process which was impaired in different neurologic disorders. We investigated whether there were deficits in response pattern, reaction time and response accuracy rate of mental rotation in multiple sclerosis (MS ...

Variation in Performance Strategies of a Hand Mental Rotation Task on Elderly

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
A hand mental rotation task (HMRT) is a task wherein a person judges whether an image of a rotated hand is of the right or left hand. Two performance strategies are expected to come into play when performing these tasks: a visual imagery (VI) strategy ...

Body context and posture affect mental imagery of hands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Different visual stimuli have been shown to recruit different mental imagery strategies. However the role of specific visual stimuli properties related to body context and posture in mental imagery is still under debate.
