Abstract


Mental rotation is to imagine yourself or object rotating space characterization conversion capability is one of the important benchmark to measure the intelligence of the individual space, an important issue of concern in the field of spatial cognition. Mental rotation direction of research on the understanding of human spatial cognition not only has an important theoretical significance, but also has an important application value. The mental rotation direction representative cube combinations of three-dimensional graphics by Shepard and his colleagues suggested that the application of the method and the results achieved in this Institute has had a huge impact on the later appearance of research, the field of spatial cognition termed The classic study. The study pointed out that mental rotation is similar to the process of the rotation of an object's physical. Object rotated in real space the mental rotation visual imagery in cognitive nervous system conversion, Shepard called \This study suggests that different types of stimulation the same mental rotation, but the rotation of the internal mechanisms exist differences in the mental rotation of different types of stimuli sharing the limited resources of the nerve. As a starting point, the study manual rotation system to examine different objects (cubes, hand) differences in mental rotation. This depth study the mental rotation cognitive characteristics, improve the individual spatial intelligence has important theoretical and practical values. Research conducted a series of behavioral experiments, to learn whether manually rotate system impact on mental rotation of different objects. Require subjects to manually rotate the wheels of a home-made device (mental rotation direction of consistent, inconsistent or non-manual rotation) while mental rotation of different objects (hands, cubes). The studies were designed four experiments, an experiment to examine different ways within-subject design manual rotation of whether an impact on mental rotation of different objects. Thereafter in the second to fourth experiment systematically explore the mental rotation direction, whether manually rotating speeds and different hands to manually rotate the three factors impact on the relationship between the manual rotation and mental rotation: a second experiment using the hybrid design , explore different directions mental rotation whether specific; manual rotation on mental rotation experiment three study different rotation speeds for the within-subject design; fourth experiment investigated whether the hand of an impact on the experimental results, as test within the design. Comprehensive experimental results and discussions on this study, the following conclusions: 1. The cube combination of pictures and hands picture there are the psychological effect of the angle of rotation: reaction increases with increasing mental rotation angles. 2 manual rotation be mental rotation impact, this impact vary according to different stimuli (cubes or hand): mental rotation of the cube significantly higher than those without manually rotating in the direction of the inconsistent reaction. The hand irritants, manual rotation direction between inconsistent and consistent, without manually rotating there were significant differences. Manual rotation direction in the context of the different type of stimulus, inconsistent generally affect the efficiency of mental rotation larger opponents stimulation. Different mental rotation direction will not affect the relationship between the manual rotation and mental rotation. Different manual rotation speed will not affect the relationship between the manual rotation and mental rotation. 5 different hand (left hand or right hand) be manually rotating and the relationship between mental rotation impact performance: manually rotate the interaction of stimulus type and hand, right hand manual rotation of the hand irritants stronger impact of mental rotation.
