Abstract
Two experiments are presented that examine automaticity and transfer of mental rotation skills. The data from these experiments were analyzed using a curve-fitting technique that represents a departure from traditional methods used to analyze transfer. The first experiment demonstrated significant positive transfer from one letter stimulus to another. The second experiment examined the transfer of rotation skills from a letter to an abstract shape. This experiment demonstrated a reduced amount of transfer from letters to an abstract shape. Both experiments indicated that mental rotation skills may become automatic with practice.
