在心理旋转任务中，反应时间随着角度差异的增加而线性增加（Shepard & Metzler，1971）。大量重复心理旋转已被证明可以减少反应时间（例如，Tarr & Pinker，1989）。然而，这种训练效果似乎是基于记忆表征的检索，而不是基于旋转过程本身的更快执行（例如，Heil、Roesler、Link 和 Bajric，1998）。本实验的主要目的是研究是否可以通过虚拟环境中的手动旋转任务来训练心理旋转。由于手动旋转确实可视化了心理旋转的过程，并且心理旋转被假定为隐性运动旋转（Wexler、Kosslyn 和 Berthoz，1998），因此它应该训练旋转过程本身，因此不应该基于记忆。在实验1中，成功验证了新的虚拟心理旋转测试。实验2表明，在虚拟环境中手动训练心理旋转是有效的，但仅限于训练对象。
In mental rotation tasks, reaction time increases linearly with increasing angular disparity (Shepard & Metzler, 1971). Extensive repetition of mental rotation has been shown to reduce reaction times (e.g., Tarr & Pinker, 1989). This training effect, however, seems to be based on the retrieval of memory representations rather than on a faster execution of the rotation process itself (e.g., Heil, Roesler, Link, & Bajric, 1998). The main purpose of the present experiments was to investigate whether mental rotation can be trained by a manual rotation task in a virtual environment. Since manual rotation does visualise the process of mental rotation and as mental rotation is assumed to be a covert motor rotation (Wexler, Kosslyn, & Berthoz, 1998), it should train the rotation process itself and thus should not be memory based. In Experiment 1, a new virtual mental rotation test was validated successfully. Experiment 2 shows that manual training of mental rotation in a virtual environment is effective but limited to trained objects.
