Real Life Application
Further information: AbstractionAs shown in the studies athletes are more spatially aware because their training makes them have to be. Dancers are also very spatially aware, due to the immense amount of training and practice of turns and mental rehearsal. The more musical or athletic a person is, the more they are spatially aware and can rotate images in the environment. The use of mental rotation can be strengthened by becoming trained in a certain art or sport. Without mental rotation people would not be able to process information as quickly and accurately.

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital.

I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
