Mental rotation is a cognitive process that involves the ability to manipulate and rotate mental representations of two- or three-dimensional objects in one's mind. It is a key aspect of spatial reasoning and visual imagery, allowing individuals to visualize what an object would look like from different angles or orientations. Research on mental rotation often involves tasks where participants are asked to determine whether two presented figures are the same object rotated in space or two different objects.
