A Deep Learning Model of Mental Rotation Informed by Interactive VR Experiments

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2512.13517v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Mental rotation -- the ability to compare objects seen from different viewpoints -- is a fundamental example of mental simulation and spatial world modeling in humans. Here we propose a mechanistic model of human mental rotation, leveraging recent advances in deep, equivariant, and neuro-symbolic learning.
