In a parallel group experimental design, respondents from the origami group (rotation training), after 18 h of training, significantly increased their performance on a test of mental rotation.
However, the "main" phase jump in the 1920s remains to be most interesting feature of the CW, which, in particular, is a real test of Earth rotation theories.
In order to scan our participants for severe visuo-spatial and motor deficits that could influence the results on the adaptation task, we used a test of mental rotation ("Würfelaufgaben" of the IST, a German test of intelligence [39]), and a series of motor tests (subtests of the "Motorische Leistungsserie", all performed with the right hand; Schuhfried GmbH, Mödling, Austria; [40]).
For example, Shepard and Metzler's (1971) canonical finding of a linear relationship between an individual's response time and the angular disparity between two block pairs in tests of speeded rotation suggests that processes like mental rotation rely on imagistic manipulation of the blocks as if they were actually being moved in the physical world.
Preoperative planning based on long standing radiographs included a malalignment test [8], center of rotation and angulation (CORA) definition, and assembling of the Ilizarov apparatus.
In this last test, the frequency of rotation errors was high in the 5 6 years age group and increased with mercury exposure.
Five of the tests required such fixation, including the modified Biering-Sørensen and the previously unvalidated tests of trunk rotation and active-straight-leg raise.
Several fMRI studies (Grill-Spector et al. 1999; Fang et al. 2007; Xu et al. 2009) have tested the effects of rotation in depth in FFA, using sparser sampling compared with the present study.
In a test of the optical rotation, this compound was optically inactive.
Three patients presented contralateral directional preponderance on caloric test and we found four patients with directional preponderance on analysis of the slow phase velocity of rotation test response.
