心理旋转与物理旋转是人类所具有的两种动力转换能力,物理操作与心理加工之间的相互关系是空间认知领域关注的热点问题。本研究采用2×4混合实验设计,通过控制旋转轴和旋转角度,对基于不同物理旋转经验的水平面和冠状面自我旋转进行对比性研究。实验结果表明,物理旋转的有限性是影响自我旋转的重要因素,水平面自我旋转易于冠状面自我旋转。
Mental rotation and physical rotation are two kinds of motor transformation ability and the relationship between them has arrested tremendous attention from cognitive psychologists. The current research adopted a 2 × 4 mixed factor for exploring the differences between self-rotation in the transverse plane and self-rotation in the coronal plane both based on different experiences of physical rotation with the modes and degrees of rotation controlled. The results indicated that the limitation of physical rotation has a great influence on self-rotation. It is easer to imagine self-rotation in the transverse plane than in the coronal plane.
