Ernst, Jeremy Vaughn; Lane, Diarmaid; Clark, Aaron C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2015
The ability to rotate visual mental images is a complex cognitive skill. It requires the building of graphical libraries of information through short or long term memory systems and the subsequent retrieval and manipulation of these towards a specified goal. The development of mental rotation skill is of critical importance within engineering…
