Abstract

A new study by Ward and colleagues (Curr. Biol. 2019;29:874-880) finds that participants use mental rotation to calculate an avatar's perspective on a scene without any prompt to do so. This often enables them to make faster judgments about the appearance of the scene than they could make if they viewed it on their own.
