Which of the following statements best describes viewpoint-dependent object recognition?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Viewpoint-dependent object recognition refers to the fact that recognition of an object can be influenced by the viewer's perspective or angle of view. In this case, one must match the current view of an object with a view of the object stored in memory, using the process of rotation. Thus, the best choice is B. Statements A, C, and D are incorrect. Statement A suggests that an object is memorized faster if it is upright, which may or may not be true, but it is not directly related to viewpoint-dependent object recognition. Statement C is incorrect because recognition of an object may be faster or slower depending on its orientation, and viewpoint-dependent object recognition specifically refers to the impact of the viewer's perspective. Statement D is incorrect because geon theory, which suggests that objects are recognized based on their constituent geometric shapes, is not the only factor that influences viewpoint-dependent object recognition.
