Abstract

This study implements a within-subject design (204 participants, 84 trials each) to examine how problem attributes impact performance in adolescent mental rotation. Linear and logistic mixed effect models revealed that angle of rotation, trial type, geometric distinctions, and axis of rotation had a significant effect on accuracy and response time.
