ABSTRACT
The number of studies investigating visuo-spatial representation, mental imagery, and visuo-spatial cognition in general, has increased greatly in the last 20 years. This growing interest is due to the importance of understanding the specific mechanisms underlying visuo-spatial cognition and the relationship between this area of research and more general issues in cognitive psychology, such as visual perception, action, working memory, central/ executive processes, and theoretical models of memory functions (for a review see Denis, Logie, Cornoldi, De Vega, & Engelkamp, 2001a).
