Are developments in mental scanning and mental rotation related? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The development and relation of mental scanning and mental rotation were examined in 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-year old children and adults (N = 102). Based on previous findings from adults and ageing populations, the key question was whether they develop as a set ...

Mirror-normal difference in the late phase of mental rotation: An ERP study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mirror-normal letter discriminations are thought to require mental rotation in order to transform the rotated alphanumeric character into its canonical orientation.

Visual mental imagery during caloric vestibular stimulation. [PDF]
, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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.
