Mental rotation (MR) is the ability to transform a mental representation of an object so as to
accurately predict how the object would look from a different angle (Sci 171: 701–703 …

Most research on early language learning focuses on the objects that infants see and the
words they hear in their daily lives, although growing evidence suggests that motor …

Almost two decades ago, the sticky mittens paradigm was demonstrated as a way to train

Disruptive biological and environmental factors may undermine the development of
children's motor and sensorimotor skills. Since the development of cognitive skills, including …

Infants spend much of their time exploring objects (Herzberg et al., 2021), and object
exploration is linked to learning and development in various domains (eg, social, cognitive …

Abstract This Presidential Address is aimed at considering how infant development can be

The core challenge in the study of cognitive development is to specify what infants bring to
the task of learning, and how inborn biological processes interact with environmental input …

Studies show that visual-manual object exploration influences spatial cognition, and
specifically mental rotation performance in infancy. The current work with 9-month-old …

Mental rotation, the cognitive process of moving an object in mind to predict how it looks in a
new orientation, is coupled to intelligence, learning, and educational achievement. On …

Motor experiences and active exploration during early childhood may affect individual
