This study investigated the relationship between visuo-spatial representation, mental rotation (MR) and functional anatomy examination results. A total of 184 students completed the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), Mental Rotation Test (MRT) and Gordon Test of Visual Imagery Control. The time spent on personal assignment was also considered. Men were found to score better than women on both ...

The aim of this study is to establish whether the thumb is represented independently of the palm. An exogenous spatial cueing paradigm was used, where participants had to detect a tactile stimulus that could appear on the proximal and distal phalanges or metacarpus of the thumb (thenar area; Experiment 1) and the metacarpus of the thumb or hypothenar area of the palm (Experiment 2) of the left ...

This paper is dedicated to the “living cognition” issues, which concern the ability of a cognitive model to simulate humans’ mental activities when dynamically interacting with the external environment. After having introduced the theoretical foundations of this approach, an integrative COgnitive Simulation MOdel of the DRIVEr is presented (i.e. COSMODRIVE). The central process that supports th...

Searching for alternative solutions of an indeterminate reasoning task is an important and necessary step in order to draw certain inferences as in the case of deduction. To elucidate the underlying mental representations and processes of the search for alternatives in spatial reasoning, an experiment was conducted that used specific material stemming from AI research of Qualitative Spatial Rea...

Numerous behavioural paradigms have demonstrated a close connection between numbers and space, suggesting that numbers may be represented on an internal mental number line. For example, in the Spatial Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect, reaction times are faster for left-sided responses to smaller numbers and for right-sided responses to larger numbers. One valuable tool for...

People frequently gesture when problem-solving, particularly on tasks that require spatial transformation. Gesture often facilitates task performance by interacting with internal mental representations, but how this process works is not well understood. We investigated this question by exploring the case of mental abacus (MA), a technique in which users not only imagine moving beads on an abacu...

In line with scientific literature, there is a growing interest in building-block play. In fact, through this kind of play, children acquire both the abilities for abstract thought and symbolic representation and an understanding of rules—all of which are fundamental for mathematical understanding. This study explores the relationship between constructive play, mathematical skills, and mental i...

Modeling the cognitive processes of learners is fundamental to build educational software that are autonomous and that can provide highly tailored assistance during learning [3]. For this purpose, many student models have been developed. However to the best of the authors’ knowledge there is no model for the evaluation and teaching of spatial reasoning. This paper describes how a knowledge repr...

In recent years a lot of psychological research efforts have been made in analyzing human spatial reasoning. Psychologists have implicitly used few spatial cognitive models, i.e. models of how humans conceptualize spatial information and reason about it. But only little effort has been put into the task of identifying from an algorithmic point of view the control mechanism and complexity involv...

Since ancient times, men had the necessity to catch somehow the concept of “information”, to model it in a certain way and even to find out methods to store it. Information is a term with many meanings depending on context, but is, as a rule, closely related to such concepts as meaning, knowledge, instruction, communication, representation, and mental stimulus. Of course an important part of th...
