The link between mental rotation ability and basic numerical representations
Mental rotation and number representation have both been studied widely, but although mental rotation has been linked to higher-level mathematical skills, to date it has not been shown whether mental rotation ability is linked to the most basic mental representation and processing of numbers. To investigate the possible connection between mental rotation abilities and numerical representation, ...

متن کاملTraining mental rotation skills to improve spatial ability
Prior research indicates that spatial skills, such as Mental Rotation Skills (MRS), are a strong predictor for mathematics achievement. Other studies have shown that MRS can be instilled through training and that they are a good predictor of another spatial skill: route learning and wayfinding skills. This paper explores these assumptions and reports an experiment with 43 undergraduate psycholo...
متن کاملModeling Spatial Ability in Mental Rotation and Paper-Folding
Spatial ability tests like mental rotation and paper-folding provide strong predictions of an individual’s achievement in science and engineering. What cognitive skills are involved in them? We use a computational model to analyze these tasks, asking how much information must be processed to perform them. The models demonstrate that in some cases stimuli can be vastly simplified, resulting in c...
متن کاملthe effect of motor and cognitive experiences on mental rotation ability in boys
mental rotation is the ability to imagine how an object will look if rotated away from the orientation in comparison with the one which is actually presented. that is a component of spatial abilities. this research aimed at comparing mental rotation ability in those with motor and cognitive experiences. the method of this research was causal-comparative and the sample was selected purposively. ...
