Haptic mental rotation revisited: multiple reference frame dependence.
The nature of reference frames involved in haptic spatial processing was addressed by means of a haptic mental rotation task. Participants assessed the parity of two objects located in various spatial locations by exploring them with different hand orientations. The resulting response times were fitted with a triangle wave function. Phase shifts were found to depend on the relation between the ...
متن کاملSpatial Representation and Haptic Mental Rotation
In this paper it is argued that it is legitimate to talk about mental imagery, and thus, to claim that spatial information is coded in an analogue mode. Evidence from research with blind people indicate that they can perform mental rotation and that analogue spatial cognition does not depend on visual information. It is therefore proposed that, if the blind can perform mental rotation in an ana...
متن کاملMental rotation and the frame of reference in blind and sighted individuals.
Mental rotation in the congenitally blind was investigated with a haptic letter-judgment task. Blind subjects and blindfolded, sighted subjects were presented a letter in some orientation between 0° to 300° from upright and timed while they judged whether it was a normal or mirror-image letter. Both groups showed an increasing response time with the stimulus’s departure from upright; this resul...
متن کاملReference frame and haptic discrimination of orientations in infants.
Body-tilt effect on the haptic discrimination of orientations and the 'oblique effect' (better discrimination of the vertical orientation than of an oblique orientation) were examined in 5-month-old infants. Body tilt leads to a mismatch between egocentric and gravitational reference frames and indicates in which reference frame orientations and oblique effect are defined. A familiarization/rea...
متن کاملMental Rotation Mental Rotation
the typical characterization of individuals with mild mental retardation, by seldom being able to live independently. As evidenced by the example of Williams syndrome, summary test scores often do not represent well the level of ability within individual domains. Thus it is crucial to take into account etiology when planning either basic research or intervention. At the same time, it is importa...
