Mental Rotation of Three-Dimensional Objects
Robert Shepard, Jacqueline Metzler 1971 Science v171 n3972 p701-703

This study shows that the time to recognize that two-dimensional perspective drawings portray a three-dimensional object increases linearly with the number of angular rotations required to portray the 3D object and reflects the time it takes to mentally process the rotation of the object.
