Sex differences in gray matter volume of the right anterior hippocampus explain sex differences in three-dimensional mental rotation

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Behavioral studies have reported that males perform better than females in 3-dimensional (3D) mental rotation. Given the important role of the hippocampus in spatial processing, the present study investigated whether structural differences in the ...

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 ...

Emotion and affect in mental imagery: Do fear and anxiety manipulate mental rotation performance?

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The effect of internal and external visualization of rotation on postural stability

open access: yesFrontiers in Cognition
IntroductionDuring 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 ...

Impaired mental rotation in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and acute vestibular neuritis.

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yes, 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 and perceptual uprightness [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & 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 ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
