We analyse here people's perception of their reflections in mirrors placed in different
positions. In two experiments, participants looked at their mirror image, in a third experiment …

Research on naïve physics and naïve optics have shown that people hold surprising beliefs
about everyday phenomena that are in contrast with what they see. In this article, we …

Although surface-mirror imaging is a rather old topic in optics textbooks, its optical reflection
essence is still an open problem with especial significance. For example, about the chirality …

In a mirror, left and right are said to look reversed. Surprisingly, this very familiar
phenomenon, mirror reversal, has still no agreed-upon account to date. This study …

Many adults hold mistaken beliefs concerning the behavior of mechanical motion and
reflections. In the field of psychology this has been investigated in the areas of naïve physics …

The most obvious frame of reference for the topics discussed in the second part of this paper
is the debate concerning the so-called 'mirror question'. Following the introductory works of …

The idea that contrariety is one of the components of mirror images is, in one sense or
another, the starting point of all the literature which has evolved in the field of psychology …

The mirror problem or mirror reversal has been investigated by scientists of multiple
disciplines, including physicists, mathematicians, psychologists, and philosophers, but all …

We studied adults' understanding of the relationship between objects and their reflections.
Two studies investigated whether adults performed in a similar way when asked to predict …

The mirror puzzle related to the perception of mirror images as left–right reversed can be
more fully understood by considering an extended problem that includes also the perception …
