For this assignment, complete the Mental Rotation activity in MindTap by following the link. Read the directions carefully and complete the task as accurately as possible. In this activity, you will classify two shapes as being the same or being different. Full instructions are presented within the activity. The activity will take approximately 40 minutes to complete. When finished, complete the following instructions/questions. 1. Take a screenshot of your performance listed under the "Your Summary Data" tab for the activity. In your screenshot, be sure to include the part which plots your data. In same word document as your screenshot, answer the following instructions. 2. For the activity, how did your RTs (reaction times) differ across the different rotation degrees? Did it generally take you longer to respond if there was more rotation? Was this different for same versus different trials? - The reaction time for the same trials where consistent and then began to peak around 60 degrees. On the other hand for the different trials, it stays the same till around 80 degrees then drops lower. Yes, the more rotation slowed the picking process. 3. When comparing your performance to the global data, how did you perform? Did the condition patterns you found map on to the global data? How were they the same? How are they different? -Comparing my performance to the global data, I performed lower than everyone else. The condition patterns from the global data show higher performance. It's different since the range stays consistent in the 2500 ms for both categories.
4. Based on the global data, responses are typically slower the more rotated one of the shapes is. Why is this the case? What does this pattern tell us about visual imagery? The response is slower from trying to look at the specific difference in the shapes. Some shapes were rotated in different ways but still considered the same, but others looked different but were considered the same. We use visual imagery to shape what we think the objects are in our heads.
