Future Research
All the research that has been done on mental rotation has been based on how fast different people rotate images and objects and if certain types of people are faster or slower. Further research could be done to see what mental rotation actually does for a person’s perception and learning. It could be used to see how different types of people learn and how developing these skills could make them learn more accurately.
Also based on the research previously done, looking into how males and females mentally rotate objects could be looked into with more detail. Also age would be a factor to look into because in other fields age has been shown to change the way people perceive images and objects in their environment. If people can learn how they perceive them than biases could be figured out and people could learn how to control what they perceive and how they view the world they can learn how they can change opinions.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or research:
“Plato—who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to “real” people and everyday events—knew what intellectual experience made for true humanity. He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
