Mental Rotation is Not Easily Cognitively Penetrable
When participants take part in mental imagery experiments, are they using their "tacit knowledge" of perception to mimic what they believe should occur in the corresponding perceptual task? Two experiments were conducted to examine whether such an account can be applied to mental imagery in general. These experiments both examined tasks that required participants to "mentally rotate" stimuli. I...
متن کاملIs the auditory system cognitively penetrable?
According to the hierarchical model of sensory information processing, sensory inputs are transmitted to cortical areas, which are crucial for complex auditory and speech processing, only after being processed in subcortical areas (Hickok and Poeppel, 2007; Rauschecker and Scott, 2009). However, studies using electroencephalography (EEG) indicate that distinguishing simultaneous auditory inputs...
متن کاملThe Sex Difference on Mental Rotation Tests Is Not Necessarily a Difference in Mental Rotation Ability
The largest consistent sex difference in human cognition is found on mental rotation tests, which require participants to compare pictures of three-dimensional objects and decide whether they depict the same object or different objects. Across cultures, males score up to one standard deviation higher than females. We administered two standard rotation tests to 123 participants and found that th...

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...
متن کاملIs perception cognitively penetrable? A philosophically satisfying and empirically testable reframing
The question of whether perception can be penetrated by cognition is in the limelight again. The reason this question keeps coming up is that there is so much at stake: Is it possible to have theory-neutral observation? Is it possible to study perception without recourse to expectations, context, and beliefs? What are the boundaries between perception, memory, and inference (and do they even ex...
