Liesefeld, Heinrich René; Fu, Xiaolan; Zimmer, Hubert D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
A major debate in the mental-rotation literature concerns the question of whether objects are represented holistically during rotation. Effects of object complexity on rotational speed are considered strong evidence against such holistic representations. In Experiment 1, such an effect of object complexity was markedly present. A closer look on…

Liesefeld, Heinrich R.; Zimmer, Hubert D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
For mental rotation, introspection, theories, and interpretations of experimental results imply a certain type of mental representation, namely, visual mental images. Characteristics of the rotated representation can be examined by measuring the influence of stimulus characteristics on rotational speed. If the amount of a given type of information…
