## Abstract (arXiv)

Learning image transformations is essential to the idea of mental simulation as a method of cognitive inference. We take a connectionist modeling approach, using planar neural networks to learn fundamental imagery transformations, like translation, rotation, and scaling, from perceptual experiences in the form of image sequences. We investigate how variations in network topology, training data, and image shape, among other factors, affect the efficiency and effectiveness of learning visual imagery transformations, including effectiveness of transfer to operating on new types of data.
