Document Summary

Traveling a greater distance requires more time. Images represent a scene in a manner that preserves all of the distance relationships within that acne. Points close to one another in the scene are somehow close to one another in the image. Points farther apart in the scene are somehow farther apart in the image. Image directly represents the geometry of the scene. Images depict the scene rather than describing it. Much more similar to pictures or maps than they are to descriptions. Participants were asked to decide whether pairs showed two different shapes or just one shape viewed from two different perspectives. Is it possible to rotate the form to become similar. Mental rotation task an experimental procedure in which participants have to determine whether a shape differs from a target only in its position or whether the shape has a form different from the shapes of the target. Step of imagined rotation takes some time.
