2022, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :In this context, Silverman and Phillips [81] were the first to use the 3-D mental rotations task in a menstrual cycle study observing better performance during EFP in comparison with MLP (see Table 1). This result was subsequently replicated with greater methodological control [82]; additionally, the expected menstrual cycle differences were observed for 3-D mental rotation tests but not with 2-D mental rotation tests [83] (see Table 1). In 2014, Hampson et al. [71] showed that difficulty, but not dimensionality, is a critical factor for menstrual cycle effects on mental rotation tasks where better performance in a low-estradiol group in comparison with the high-estradiol group was observed [71].
