Mentally rotating the image of an object is one fundamental cognitive ability in humans.
Recent theoretical developments and empirical evidences highlight the potential role of the …

Athletes exhibit differences in perceptual-cognitive abilities when compared to non-athletes.
Recent theoretical developments focus on the role of the athletes' body in perceptual …

In this study, the effect of motor expertise on an object-based mental rotation task was
investigated. 60 males and 60 females (40 soccer players, 40 gymnasts, and 40 non …

It is the main goal of this study to investigate the visual-spatial cognition in male soccer
players. Forty males (20 soccer players and 20 non-athletes) solved a chronometric mental …

The involvement of motor processes in mental rotation is experience-dependent: different
levels of expertise in sensorimotor interactions lead to different strategies in mental rotation …

Background and objectives The experience obtained from motor expertise may contribute to
and enhance the development of particular visuo-spatial abilities. This exploratory and …

A recent set of studies has investigated the selective effects of particular physical activities
that require full-body rotations, such as gymnastics and wrestling (Moreau, Clerc, Mansy …

An extensive body of literature has explored the involvement of motor processes in mental
rotation, yet underlying individual differences are less documented and remain to be fully …

It is well established that motor expertise is linked to superior mental rotation ability, but few
studies have attempted to explain the factors that influence the stages of mental rotation in …

Embodied mental rotation is the influence of the body on mental rotation ability. Sports
expertise enhances embodied mental rotation ability. However, sport-skill-dependent effects …
