The relationship between theory of mind and mental rotation ability in preschool-aged children
This study investigates the relationship between two tasks of perspective taking, the social perspective taking ability, namely theory of mind, and the spatial one, namely mental rotation, in preschool-aged children.

Mental rotation and working memory in musicians' dystonia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mental rotation of body parts engages cortical-subcortical areas that are actually involved in the execution of a movement. Musicians’ dystonia is a type of focal hand dystonia that is grouped together with writer’s cramp under the rubric ...

A Qualitative Analysis of Medical Students' Views of Their First Psychiatry Rotation [PDF]
Objective: The importance of student’s perspectives in informing curricula and pedagogy has long been recognised. However, student’s perspectives are rarely reported in the academic literature. Therefore this study explores and reports on medical student’

Mental Rotation of Dynamic, Three-Dimensional Stimuli by 3-Month-Old Infants [PDF]
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.

The Discrete-Continuous Logic and its possible quantum realizations [PDF]
We propose a new version of generalized probabilistic propositional logic, namely, discrete-continuous logic (DCL) in which every generalized proposition (GP) is represented as 2x2 nondiagonal positive matrix with unit trace. We demonstrate that on the set of propositions of this kind one can define both the discrete logical operations (connectives ...

Zero-shot Explainable Mental Health Analysis on Social Media by Incorporating Mental Scales [PDF]
Traditional discriminative approaches in mental health analysis are known for their strong capacity but lack interpretability and demand large-scale annotated data. The generative approaches, such as those based on large language models (LLMs), have the potential to get rid of heavy annotations and provide explanations but their capabilities still fall

Mental Rotation of Digitally-Rendered Haptic Objects
Sensory substitution is an effective means to rehabilitate many visual functions after visual impairment or blindness. Tactile information, for example, is particularly useful for functions such as reading, mental rotation, shape recognition, or ...

Learning Spatially Structured Image Transformations Using Planar Neural Networks [PDF]
Learning image transformations is essential to the idea of mental simulation as a method of cognitive inference. We take a connectionist modeling approach, using planar neural networks to learn fundamental imagery transformations, like translation, rotation, and scaling, from perceptual experiences in the form of image sequences.

Mental rotation and object-spatial-verbal cognitive stiles
The aim of this study was to assess correlations between the Measure of the Ability to Rotate Mental Images (MARMI, Campos, 2012), an innovative mental imagery rotation test, and each of the three scales of the Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal ...
