Linlin Dong; Yufeng Ke; Xiaodong Zhu; Shuang Liu; Dong Ming – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Mental rotation, a crucial aspect of spatial cognition, can be improved through repeated practice. However, the long-term effects of combining training with non-invasive brain stimulation and its neurophysiological correlates are not well understood. This study examined the lasting effects of a 10-day mental rotation training with high-definition…

Fisk, Arthur D.; Schneider, Walter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1983
Three experiments examined whether the phenomena of visual search for single characters (Sternberg, 1966) generalizes to word and word-category search when target and distractor sets had varied and consistent mappings across trials. Previous results were replicated. Four principles of search are discussed within a theory of automatic/control…
