Resumo

The aim of this study was to assess correlations between the Measure of the Ability to Rotate Mental Images (MARMI, Campos, 2012), an innovative mental imagery rotation test, and each of the three scales of the Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire (OSIVQ, Blazhenkova & Kozhevnikov, 2009).). Tests were administered to 203 undergraduates, and the MARMI was significantly correlated with the Spatial Imagery Scale of the OSIVQ (r = .42). Weak correlations were found for the MARMI with Object Imagery (r = -.02), and the Verbal Scales (r = -.10). We obtained significant differences between the mean scores of the three scales of the OSIVQ. The highest score was on the object scale, and the lowest score was on the verbal scale. The results are discussed.
