2. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

   Mental rotation can be described as the brain moving objects in order to help understand what they are and where they belong. Mental rotation has been studied to try to figure out how the mind recognizes objects in their environment. Researchers generally call such objects stimuli. Mental rotation is one cognitive function for the person to ...

3. Mental Rotations Test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_Rotations_Test

   The Mental Rotations Test is a test of spatial ability by Steven G. Vandenberg and Allan R. Kuse, first published in 1978. It has been used in hundreds of studies since then. [1] [2] A meta-analysis of studies using this test showed that men performed better than women with no changes seen by birth cohort. [3]

4. Left–right confusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left–right_confusion

   However, this test has been criticized for incorporating tasks that require the use of additional strategies, such as mental rotation (MR). [10] Because men have been shown to consistently outperform women in MR tasks, [ 11 ] tests involving the use of this particular strategy may present alternative cognitive demands and lead to inaccurate ...

5. Spatial visualization ability - Wikipedia

   The cognitive tests used to measure spatial visualization ability including mental rotation tasks like the Mental Rotations Test or mental cutting tasks like the Mental Cutting Test; and cognitive tests like the VZ-1 (Form Board), VZ-2 (Paper Folding), and VZ-3 (Surface Development) tests from the Kit of Factor-Reference cognitive tests produced by Educational Testing Service.

6. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

   Example of mental rotation task stimuli. Shepard and Metzler (1971) presented a pair of three-dimensional shapes that were identical or mirror-image versions of one another. RT to determine whether they were identical or not was a linear function of the angular difference between their orientation, whether in the picture plane or in depth.

7. Spatial anxiety - Wikipedia

   Spatial anxiety (sometimes also referred to as spatial orientation discomfort [1]) is a sense of anxiety an individual experiences while processing environmental information contained in one's geographical space (in the sense of Montello's classification of space), [2] with the purpose of navigation and orientation through that space (usually unfamiliar, or very little known).
