    The study hypothesizes that rotation is significant, but didn't specifically test that. I wouldn't be surprised if the effect were more general.

    The hypothesis is that mental rotation as one way to induce high cognitive load hinders my brain from plaguing me with intrusions. As my sibling commenter already stated, this mechanism's evidence level is "unproven hypothesis" but on top of that, the hypothesis does not explicitly assume mental rotation to be the only effective task for this use case because there are a lot of other very brain-consuming tasks.
