What is Mental Simulation in Mechanical Reasoning about?

This review discusses the role of mental simulation in mechanical reasoning, highlighting its distinction from descriptive knowledge and its reliance on spatial representations. It presents evidence that individuals use piecemeal mental simulation to infer mechanical behaviors, often employing gestures that precede verbal descriptions. The findings suggest that mechanical reasoning is primarily based on internal spatial representations and analog processes rather than explicit knowledge.
