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 CognitionThis 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.

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 ...

Mental rotation of tactual stimuli
Acta Psychologica, 1990 Three experiments involving different angular orientations of tactual shapes were performed. In experiment 1 subjects were timed as they made 'same-different' judgments about two successive rotated shapes. Results showed that no rotation effect is obtained, i.e., reaction times and error percentage do not increase linearly with rotation angle. The same

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.

Zeitschrift für Sportpsychologie, 2022 Abstract: This study further validates the sport-specific Mental Rotation Test – Basketball (MRT-BB) in which participants solve 24 items regarding basketball plays. The task of each item consists of comparing four alternative stimuli with a criterion stimulus and identifying the two “correct” alternatives.

Hemispheric Specialization For Mental Rotation
Cortex, 1989 A sample of 133 normal subjects, and one commissurotomized subject, were given a "mental-rotation" task, in which they were timed as they decided whether rotated letters, flashed in the left or right visual hemifield, were normal or backward.

Imagery May Arise from Associations Formed through Sensory Experience: A Network of Spiking Neurons Controlling a Robot Learns Visual Sequences in Order to Perform a Mental Rotation Task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Mental imagery occurs "when a representation of the type created during the initial phases of perception is present but the stimulus is not actually being perceived." How does the capability to perform mental imagery arise?

Mental rotation in perspective problems
Acta Psychologica, 1991 The present paper demonstrates that mental rotation as used in the processing of disoriented objects (Cooper and Shepard 1973) can also be used as an explanatory concept for the processing of perspective problems in which the task is to imagine how an environment will appear from another vantage point.
