Children's Mental Rotations of Abstract Displays.
Bialystok, Ellen
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v47 n1 p47-71 Feb 1989
Three studies examined the hypotheses that: (1) codability and not extent of distance determines difficulty; (2) critical features and not whole objects are coded; and (3) implicit perceptual axes provide a frame of reference for coding the display. Results supporting these hypotheses are discussed in terms of a description of spatial representation. (RH)
