Representation of object orientation in children: Evidence from mirror-image confusions

E Gregory, B Landau, M McCloskey - Visual cognition, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
Although many cognitive functions require information about the orientations of objects, little
is known about representation or processing of object orientation. Mirror-image confusion …

Mirror-image confusions: Implications for representation and processing of object orientation

E Gregory, M McCloskey - Cognition, 2010 - Elsevier
Perceiving the orientation of objects is important for interacting with the world, yet little is
known about the mental representation or processing of object orientation information. The …

Children's representations of another person's spatial perspective: Different strategies for different viewpoints?

KM Vander Heyden, M Huizinga… - Journal of experimental …, 2017 - Elsevier
The current study investigated development and strategy use of spatial perspective taking
(ie, the ability to represent how an object or array of objects looks from other viewpoints) in …

Developmental mirror-writing is paralleled by orientation recognition errors

RD McIntosh, K Hillary, A Brennan… - … : Asymmetries of Body …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The writing attempts of children often feature mirror-reversals of individual letters. These
reversals are thought to arise from an adaptive tendency to mirror-generalize. However, it is …

Right-left orientation, mental rotation, and perspective-taking: When can children imagine what people see from their own viewpoint?

R Rigal - Perceptual and motor skills, 1996 - journals.sagepub.com
Right-left orientation, mental rotation, and perspective-taking were examined in a group of
406 subjects ranging from 5 to 11 yr. of age with equal numbers of children in each age …

The handle of literacy: Evidence from preliterate children and illiterate adults on orientation discrimination of graspable and non-graspable objects

T Fernandes, B Coelho, F Lima… - Language, Cognition and …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Prior research reported an apparently developmental trajectory on mirror-image
discrimination (Gregory, Landau, & McCloskey, 2011): reflections across the object principal …

Developmental differences in giving directions: Spatial frames of reference and mental rotation

RJ Roberts Jr, CJ Aman - Child development, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
The spatial referents “left” and “right” are one of the most common means for specifying
direction and location, yet little is known about the processes that underlie the use of these …

Effects of left-right orientation and position reversals on spatial perspective taking in young children

JS Phinney, SG Nummedal - Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979 - journals.sagepub.com
50 boys and 50 girls, from Grades K through 4, were presented with 180° perspective-taking
tasks that varied arrays in terms of the number of front-back and left-right orientation …

Representing orientation: A coordinate-system hypothesis and evidence from developmental deficits

M McCloskey, J Valtonen… - Cognitive …, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
This article concerns how the orientations of objects are represented in the human brain. We
propose a coordinate-system hypothesis of orientation representation (COR) and show that …

Children's memory for oblique orientation: A matter of degree?

CB Fisher, S Heincke - Child Development, 1982 - JSTOR
Research on children's memory for oblique orientation has typically focused on the left-right
component while little attention has been directed at memory for slope. Experiment 1 …
