Distinguishing clockwise from counterclockwise: Does it require mental rotation?
Distinguishing clockwise from counterclockwise: Does it require mental rotation? is a scholarly work by Michael Corballis, published in 1988 in ''Memory and Cognition''. The main subjects of the publication include spatial ability, geometry, clockwise direction, psychology, rotation, theory of mind, geodesy, orientation (vector space), mental rotation, communication, and numerical cognition. In three experiments, subjects were timed as they judged whether stimuli, presented in different angular orientations, represented clockwise or counterclockwise directions.
