ABSTRACT

The involvement of motor processes in mental rotation is experience-dependent: different levels of expertise in sensorimotor interactions lead to different strategies in mental rotation. In the present study, wrestlers, gymnasts, and nonathletes physically rotated objects that were either light (wooden) or heavy (lead) but otherwise having the same sizes and shapes. They then performed a mental rotation task using photographs of these objects in which the material and therefore the weight was visible. I hypothesized that wrestlers would rely more heavily on experience-based sensorimotor strategies in performing mental rotation because during their athletic practice they not only manipulate external “objects” (i.e., their opponent) but also have to plan future actions taking into account past experience of these “objects” (for example their weight). All participants reported that lead objects were harder to physically rotate than wooden ones. However, only wrestlers mentally rotated lead objects more slowly than wooden ones—as they would if they were physically rotating them—suggesting the involvement of motor processes. These findings show that the involvement of motor processes in mental rotation depends on specific rather than mere sensorimotor experience.

运动过程在心理旋转中的作用:通过特定的感觉运动经验选择性塑造认知过程

摘要

运动过程在精神旋转中的参与取决于经验:在感觉运动相互作用中不同水平的专业知识导致精神旋转中的不同策略。在本研究中,摔跤运动员,体操运动员和非运动员身体旋转的物体既轻(木制)也重(铅),但尺寸和形状相同。然后,他们使用这些物体的照片执行了精神旋转任务,在这些物体中可以看到材料和重量。我假设摔跤运动员在进行心理旋转时将更多地依赖基于经验的感觉运动策略,因为在体育锻炼过程中,他们不仅操纵外部“物体”(即对手),而且还必须根据过去的经验来计划未来的动作。这些“物体”(例如它们的重量)。所有参与者报告说,铅物体比木制物体更难旋转。但是,只有摔跤手在心理上旋转铅制物体的速度比木制物体慢(就像他们在物理旋转物体时一样),这暗示着运动过程的介入。这些发现表明,运动过程参与精神旋转取决于特定而不是单纯的感觉运动经验。
