Direction Effect And Sex Difference In Imagined Object Rotation

The research adopted mixed experimental designs to explore the pattern of accessibility for difference angle and direction,while using direction word and spatial arrow as probe separately.In the same time,this paper revealed the influence of viewpoint-dependent.It took simple spatial information texts as experimental materials,which were evaluated by the reaction time and accurate rate.The research indicated:1) In imagined object rotation tasks,probe modality affected direction effect according to the pattern:subjects imagine themselves in the situation when using spatial arrow as probe;outside when using direction word as probe.Beside,egocentric frame of reference was used during searching imagined environment.2) imagined rotation method and probe modality had an role together to the direction effect.Compared with rotation process,the process of retrieving products more critical function.3) In imagined object rotation tasks,the sex difference was influenced by practice and operational method,but the further research on it is also needful.4)The results in this paper support that spatial representation is viewpoint-dependent.generally speaking,reaction time increases as rotation degree increases.But sometimes in the permission condition,people also can adopt certain strategy.
