Paradigm overview

Mental Rotation measures spatial transformation by asking participants to judge whether rotated objects match a target or are mirror/nonmatches. ConductCognition uses original 2D stimuli and reports accuracy, RT, and rotation-angle slope.

Key scoring outputs

Accuracy

proportion

Proportion of rotation judgments answered correctly.

Higher is better

Rotation Slope

ms/degree

Increase in response time across rotation angle.

Lower is typically more efficient

Mirror Error Rate

proportion

Error rate on mirror/nonmatch trials.

Lower is better

Research FAQ

Common questions about this online cognitive test

Can I run the Mental Rotation Test online?

Yes. ConductCognition runs the Mental Rotation Test in a browser-based participant flow with study setup, automated scoring, and export-ready results.

What does this test measure?

Mental Rotation Test is used for spatial cognition, mental transformation, visual working memory research workflows.

What data can researchers export?

Researchers can export scored results, and paid plans support trial-level exports for deeper analysis.

Is this for clinical diagnosis?

ConductCognition is for research use. The platform supports task delivery, scoring, and exports; clinical interpretation remains outside the platform.
