Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have consistently shown that mental rotation time increases as the degree of rotation required increases. This suggests that mental rotation involves a continuous process, rather than a simple comparison of images. Option A is false as participants are able to imagine rotation in depth as well. Option C might be true in some cases, but mental rotation is not avoided entirely. Option D is false as imagined rotation in depth takes longer than imagined rotation in two dimensions.
