Mental rotation of letters, body parts and scenes during whole-body tilt: Role of a body-centered versus a gravitational reference frame

OL Bock, M Dalecki - Human movement science, 2015 - Elsevier
It is known that in mental-rotation tasks, subjects mentally transform the displayed material
until it appears “upright” and then make a judgment. Here we evaluate, by using three typical …

Let's twist again! Embodiment effects in spatial judgments on human figures rotated along a vertical axis

M Ebersbach, M Krüger - Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
