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.

Spatial abilities in Down syndrome: a comparison of mental rotation and perspective taking
Frontiers in Developmental PsychologyIntroductionMental rotation and spatial perspective taking are two key spatial abilities and are integral to one's everyday life. This study compared performance on these two abilities between adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome (DS) and ...

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 ...

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.

Two Routes to Expertise in Mental Rotation [PDF]
Cognitive Science, 2013 AbstractThe ability to imagine objects undergoing rotation (mental rotation) improves markedly with practice, but an explanation of this plasticity remains controversial. Some researchers propose that practice speeds up the rate of a general‐purpose rotation algorithm.

Sex Differences in Mental Rotation Strategy [PDF]
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2006 When humans decide whether two visual stimuli are identical or mirror images of each other and one of the stimuli is rotated with respect to the other, the time discrimination takes usually increases as a rectilinear function of the orientation disparity. On the average, males perform this mental rotation at a faster angular speed than females.

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.
