Reviews the literature on 2 anomalous effects, the" fast-same" effect (FSE) and the criterion
effect, found in the interpretation of same–different reaction-time data. No 2 models localize …

A basic problem of visual perception is how human beings recognize objects after spatial
transformations. Three central classes of findings have to be accounted for:(a) Recognition …

How do we recognize objects despite differences in their retinal projections when they are
seen at different orientations? Marr and Nishihara (1978) proposed that shapes are …

A series of experiments revealed systematic effects of orientation on the time required to
identify line drawings of natural objects. Naming time increases as patterns are rotated …

Successful object recognition is essential for finding food, identifying kin, and avoiding
danger, as well as many other adaptive behaviors. To accomplish this feat, the visual system …

Abstract [review] some of the recent empirical and theoretical work that has focused on the
effects of stimulus orientation/review studies that have looked for effects of orientation on …

Originally published in 1987, this book, attempted to bring together work by researchers
concerned with the functional and neurological mechanisms underlying visual object …

Mental rotation functions often evidence a curvilinear trend indicating relative indifference to
small departures from the upright. In Experiment 1, this was true only for normal letters …

How are we able to recognize misoriented objects? One hypothesis is that we normalize the
stimulus representation to an upright position through a process of mental rotation and then …

Examined which of the 2 strategies—image rotation and frame rotation—transpires in a
mental rotation task and whether the choice of strategy may be affected by experimental …
