Although results yielded significant differences in mental rotation ability favoring elite athletes, there was no effect of sport expertise on either the visual or the spatial memory span task. In addition, correlations between the visuospatial memory span tasks and the Mental Rotations Test were not significant, whereas there was a strong correlation between the visual and the spatial memory tasks. We further discuss these findings and their implication in explaining mental rotation differences, as well as toward a comprehensive understanding of the cognitive processes specifically involved in motor performance.Lire moins >
