Exploring block construction and mental imagery: Evidence of atypical orientation discrimination in Williams syndrome [PDF]
, 2004 The visuo-spatial perceptual abilities of individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) were investigated in two experiments. Experiment 1 measured the ability of participants to discriminate between oblique and between nonoblique orientations.

Generalisation, decision making, and embodiment effects in mental rotation: A neurorobotic architecture tested with a humanoid robot. [PDF]
, 2015 Mental rotation, a classic experimental paradigm of cognitive psychology, tests the capacity of humans to mentally rotate a seen object to decide if it matches a target object.

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.

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.

Intersection of reality and fiction in art perception: pictorial space, body sway and mental imagery [PDF]
, 2015 Background The thesis of embodied cognition claims that perception of the environment entails a complex set of multisensory processes which forms a basis for the agent’s potential and immediate actions.

Modelling mental rotation in cognitive robots [PDF]
, 2013 Mental rotation concerns the cognitive processes that allow an agent mentally to rotate the image of an object in order to solve a given task, for example to say if two objects with different orientations are the same or different.

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 ...

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.
