A patient has difficulty performing the mental rotation task.What are 2 possible disorders that the patient could have? Andwhere would the lesions be for the 2 possible disorders?
The task would be to mentally rotate an upside down image of aperson holding 2 balls (one red one white). The patient would needto rotate it so the person holding the ball is upright, so whenasked which hand the red ball is in, they would be able to identifycorrectly. The activity is done twice, first time with the red ballin the left hand, and second time with the red ball in the righthand. The patient has difficulty in both cases.
