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.

Famous quotes containing the words real, life and/or application:
“We have yet to deal successfully with American transraciality in real terms, as we have failed to redefine race in light of the modern, twenty-first century progress of human kind.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“The only living works are those which have drained much of the author’s own life into them.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
““Five o’clock tea” is a phrase our “rude forefathers,” even of the last generation, would scarcely have understood, so completely is it a thing of to-day; and yet, so rapid is the March of the Mind, it has already risen into a national institution, and rivals, in its universal application to all ranks and ages, and as a specific for “all the ills that flesh is heir to,” the glorious Magna Charta.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
