Representatives of the U.S. advertising industry saw it as their job to provide support for the programme of mental transformation in Europe, and particularly in Germany.
Importantly, deficits were more present during the mental transformation in outward rotation angles, thus suggesting that the mental imagery for hands and letters relies on different processing mechanisms which suggest a module that is more complex for the processing of human hands than for letters during mental rotation tasks.
But underneath the urge to shock there has always been as great an interest in mental transformations as in physical ones, and his movies nowadays seem closer to the art house than the grind house.
The theoretical underpinnings of mental mathematics would also allow us to hypothesize that practice in mental transformations would lead to a stronger conceptual grasp of number properties that would justify said transformations (see [25, 40]).
Research also shows that mental transformations can become impaired in conditions such as hemispatial neglect (Palermo et al., 2010) and developmental coordination disorder (Williams, Thomas, Maruff, & Wilson, 2008).
The present study was designed to investigate the level of impairment of mental transformation abilities in MDD.
Unexpectedly, speed of perspective taking in the self-other transformation task correlated negatively with empathic concern, but only in women, which we interpret in light of gender differences in empathy and strategies for egocentric mental transformations.
Thus, our findings extend those of previous studies by showing that subject-centred mental transformations, which involve visuospatial and motor processes, are affected by aging in a similar manner as object-centred mental transformations, which mainly involves visuospatial processes.
We hypothesized that increasing the salience of depth cues would also lead to changes in respondents' mental transformation strategies.
One of the main findings of this study was an increased use of more efficient mental transformation strategies that was more pronounced in females than males.
