Mental rotation and visual familiarity [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1985 Mental rotation functions often evidence a curvilinear trend indicating relative indifference to small departures from the upright. In Experiment 1, this was true only for normal letters whereas reflected letters yielded a largely linear rotation function.

The effect of internal and external visualization of rotation on postural stability
Frontiers in CognitionIntroductionDuring mental rotation tasks, it is assumed that participants visualize a rotation of objects in their minds (internal visualization), but mental rotation has also been linked to the visible rotation of objects on a screen (external ...

Emotion and affect in mental imagery: Do fear and anxiety manipulate mental rotation performance?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Little is known about the effects of fear as a basic emotion on mental rotation performance. We expected that the emotional arousal evoked by fearful stimuli presented prior to each mental rotation trial would enhance mental rotation performance ...

Differential neural encoding of sensorimotor and visual body representations. [PDF]
, 2016 Sensorimotor processing specifically impacts mental body representations. In particular, deteriorated somatosensory input (as after complete spinal cord injury) increases the relative weight of visual aspects of body parts' representations, leading to ...

Impaired mental rotation in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and acute vestibular neuritis.
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Vestibular processing is fundamental to our sense of orientation in space which is a core aspect of the representation of the self. Vestibular information is processed in a large subcortical-cortical neural network.

Mental Rotation of Dynamic, Three-Dimensional Stimuli by 3-Month-Old Infants [PDF]
, 2010 Mental rotation involves transforming a mental image of an object so as to accurately predict how the object would look if it were rotated in space.

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.

Predictability of hand skill and cognitive abilities from craniofacial width in right- and left-handed men and women: relation of skeletal structure to cerebral function [PDF]
, 2002 Recently, a family of homeobox genes involved in brain and craniofacial development was identified. In light of this genetic background, we hypothesized that some functional characteristics of human brain (hand skill, cognition) may be linked to some ...
