Effects of degree of rotation 012687 University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus Abstract The following study does a replication of Cooper and Shepard’s (1973) study on mental rotation using rotated and normal stimulus. The study investigated the effects of degree of rotation of the stimulus on the time taken (RT) for participants to distinguish between inversed stimuli and non-inversed stimuli. In the following study‚ we used 2 normal stimuli and 2 inversed of the normal stimuli‚ and applied

In addition‚ as in 3D wireframe images‚ the figure can appear to rotate in either direction‚ depending on how your brain interprets it. It can also spontaneously reverse the direction of rotation. (In a real 3D wireframe image the image can also appear to rotate around a different axis.) The rotation of Lissajous Figures is something you need to see‚ so I am posting a program to do this. Because the sine function is computationally intensive‚ the program starts out by calculating a table

Mental Rotation Lab Report: PSY 405 – Spring 2012 Deng Jichun Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to confirm the theory that we create picturelike representation of perceived visual stimuli‚ and we can also mentally rotate the representation to a known “upright” position. The reaction time increases linearly according to the angle of the rotation‚ regardless of their complexity (Cooper‚ 1975). In some circumstances‚ we snap the perceived visual stimuli and create

studies have been performed to address the impact of mandatory rotation of audit firms to ensure the appropriate level of independence ’ of auditors. Majority of studies conclude that the detrimental effects of firm rotation on the quality of the audit work by far outweigh its positive effects as a safeguard against various independence and quality threats. Frequent changes of audit firms‚ whether resulting from mandatory rotation or otherwise‚ introduce threats to independence and operational

controversial subject in the field of psychology. Many psychologists have argued that such a concept is impossible to measure because it can not be directly observed. Though they are right about this‚ it is not impossible to measure how quickly mental rotations of images are processed in our brains. Subjects in this experiment were presented two shapes simultaneously‚ via computer screen‚ and asked to make judgement‚ as quickly as possible‚ as to whether the two shapes presented were the same or mirror

Arguments in Favour of Mandatory Audit Rotation: As an attempt to strengthen the audit independence and the audit quality‚ mandatory audit rotation is to be considered as a very good proposal to safeguard the audit independence. It is‚ however‚ limited number of years above that the audit firm or the engagement partner (For instance‚ the U.K. approach is to change only the engagement partner. While in the U.S. approach it is mandatory to change the whole audit firm) can no longer be or continue

Job Rotation Programs Pamela Robinson-Smith Walsh College Human Resource Management 555 February 29‚ 2012 Introduction Job rotation programs are very enriching but require much energy from both the company implementing the program as well as the employees. Job rotation is the systematic movement of employees from job to job within an organization. Job rotation is a systematic career development strategy that moves employees laterally and offers customized assignments for specialized

familiarity or experience plays a prominent role in the recognition of the 3D blocks. It seems that in the rotation of these images familiarity plays a very important role‚ since it can be assumed that if familiarity is true‚ then subjects who are familiar with any object or behavior will find it easier to make a mental rotation. 2. The results showed the typical effect of mental rotation on response times. There were moments when I could not tell if the shapes were different or the same. As when

second and more time-consuming component of the rotation was the actual hospital work in OB-GYN at Keystone or one of its affiliate hospitals. The word around campus was‚ if you wanted to get on Kent’s good side or were considering OB-GYN as a specialty‚ you should take OB-GYN at Keystone. On the other hand‚ if you wanted to learn anything about OB-GYN and not spend an entire six-week rotation watching abortions being performed‚ you should take the rotation at another hospital. Accordingly‚ I chose Eastside
