Can We Imagine how Objects Look from Other Viewpoints?

Rock, Irvin; And Others

Cognitive Psychology, v21 n2 p185-210 Apr 1989

Several experiments were undertaken with a total of 111 undergraduates. Subjects attempted to imagine how three-dimensional novel wire objects would appear from viewpoints other than that of the subject. Subjects were unable to perform this task without making use of strategies that circumvent the process of visualization. (TJH)
