DOI: 10.1007/s00221-022-06363-1
Abstract: Visuospatial functions are particularly vulnerable to the aging process. Decline of these processes can seriously affect an individual's functional independence and quality of life. Effectively assessing the spatial abilities of older adults is, therefore, crucial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bandc.2020.105670
Abstract: The ability to mentally rotate objects in space is a fundamental cognitive capacity. Previous studies showed that the time to rotate the image of a figure to match another increases progressively with angular disparity. It… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.concog.2019.102809
Abstract: The Reflexive Imagery Task (RIT) was developed to investigate the entry into consciousness of involuntary imagery. Subjects are presented with objects and instructed to not think of the names of the objects. Involuntary subvocalizations arise… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2019.04.004
Abstract: Many cognitive and social processes involve mental simulations of a change in perspective. Behavioral studies suggest that such egocentric mental rotations rely on brain areas that are also involved in processing actual self-motion, thus depending… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lindif.2018.01.014
Abstract: Abstract It is commonly thought that strong spatial ability enhances mathematics performance and that associations between spatial ability and mathematics may be in part responsible for the gender gap in math performance. We investigated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2019.03.014
Abstract: Recent behavioural evidence suggests that differences in the vividness of visual imagery (VVI) affect the way in which mental rotation (MR) tasks are accomplished. However, the role of VVI in MR tasks is still debated.… read more here.
