This paper discusses a psychology experiment that investigates the variability in individual drawing ability and the ability to read 3D images. Currently, Shepard and Metzlerpsilas Mental Rotation Test is the most popular test...

This study reports on the 3D visualisation of the interconnectedness of the various terms used in the REAMS database. Preliminary results show predictable clustering and...
