Detection of Symmetry as a Function of Angular Orientation

Corballis, Michael C.; Roldan, Carlos E.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1, 3, 221-30, Aug 75

These experiments pursued the idea that the detection of symmetry is accomplished by mental rotation to the vertical. They investigated the time it takes to decide whether or not a pattern is symmetrical as a function of the angular orientation of the pattern and the tilt of the subject's head. (Author/RK)
