A Comparison of Reaction Time and Drawing Measures of Mental Rotation.

Dean, Anne L.; Scherzer, Elise

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v34 n1 p20-37 Aug 1982

Examines the hypothesis that errors in children's drawings of objects in anticipated states of rotation result from their inability to imagine the objects in those states. The hypothesis was tested by comparing children's performances on a drawing version and a reaction-time version of a rotating squares task. (Author/RH)
