Erratum: Developmental Changes in Mental Rotation: A Dissociation Between Object-Based and Egocentric Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was conducted to investigate developmental changes of mental rotation performance. We compared children, adults, and older adults regarding their performance in object-based and egocentric transformations. Both children and older adults showed higher overall reaction times compared to adults. Results were interpreted against the background of impaired working memory capacity in both children and older adults. Since mental changes in working memory are mediated by age differences in cognitive processing speed, cognitive speed is supposed to be the underlying factor. Regarding both types of transformations, an advantage of egocentric over object-based human figures was only found in adults which led us to tentatively propose that children and older adults show deficits in perspective taking compared to adults.

Selective Effects of Sport Expertise on the Stages of Mental Rotation Tasks With Object-Based and Egocentric Transformations
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 sport experts. Some authors have argued that athletes are faster in the perceptual and decision stages but not in the rotation stages of object-based transformations; however, stimuli related to sport hav...
متن کاملEmbodied mental rotation: a special link between egocentric transformation and the bodily self
This experiment investigated the influence of motor expertise on object-based versus egocentric transformations in a chronometric mental rotation task using images of either the own or another person's body as stimulus material. According to the embodied cognition viewpoint, we hypothesized motor-experts to outperform non-motor experts specifically in the egocentric condition because of higher ...
متن کاملImagined transformations of bodies: an fMRI investigation.
A number of spatial reasoning problems can be solved by performing an imagined transformation of one's egocentric perspective. A series of experiments were carried out to characterize this process behaviorally and in terms of its brain basis, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (tMRI). In a task contrast designed to isolate egocentric perspective transformations, participants were slowe...
متن کاملSelective disturbance of mental rotation by cortical stimulation.
In order to plan activity, people must imagine the spatial consequences of potential actions. Two classes of mental spatial transformation can be distinguished: Object-based spatial transformations are imagined movements of objects, such as mental rotation. Egocentric perspective transformations are imagined changes in one's viewpoint, such as imagining one's self in the position of another per...
متن کاملEgocentric and object-based transformations in the laterality judgement of human and animal faces and of non-corporeal objects.
Mental rotation of body parts is influenced by specific sensory-motor information, and may be performed using an egocentric (subject-based) or an object-based mental transformation. Neurologically healthy volunteers were asked to verbally judge the laterality of visually presented human face, owl face and front of a car with a black patch over one eye/headlight, presented in one of eight orient...
