Mental rotation is the ability to rotate mental representations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects as it is related to the visual representation of such rotation within the human mind. ==Introduction== Mental rotation, as a function of visual representation in the human brain, has been associated with the right cerebral hemisphere. It is thought to be related to the similar areas of the brain associated with perception. It is also thought to be associated with the cognitive rate of spatial processing and general intelligence (Johnson 1990, Jones 1982, Hertzog 1991). Mental rotation can be described as the brain moving objects in order to help understand what they are and where they belong. Mental rotation has been studied to try to figure out how the mind recognizes objects in their environment. Researchers generally call such objects stimuli. A stimulus then would be any object or image seen in the person’s environment that has been altered or changed in some way. Mental rotation is one cognitive function for the person to figure out what the altered object is. Mental rotation can be separated into the following cognitive stages (Johnson 1990): # Create a mental image of an object # Rotate the object mentally until a comparison can be made # Make the comparison # Decide if the objects are the same or not # Report the decision 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「mental rotation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
