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:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
