In the Shepard and Metzler study, people judged whether two figures that were in different orientations were the same or different. What did this study demonstrate?
 
  a. It takes much longer to rotate pairs in depth (e.g., by turning a figure away from you) than to rotate pairs in the picture plane (e.g., by turning a figure clockwise).
  b. The amount of rotation necessary before making same-different judgments influences decision speed.
  c. There were no consistent relationships between the variables examined in this study.
  d. The propositional-storage interpretation of imagery is correct.

Question 2

Suppose that you are taking a course in geometry. You are trying to determine whether two geometric shapes are identical, so you mentally rotate one of the figures in a clockwise fashion. You are likely to find that
 
  a. you will not be very accurate in this task, because mental imagery is very poor for geometric figures.
  b. you will take more time than if you had to rotate the figure in a 3-dimensional plane (e.g., away from you).
  c. you will rotate the figure more quickly than if you had to rotate it in a counterclockwise fashion.
  d. you will take longer to rotate it 120 than 40.

Most fungi that pathogenically affect humans live in soil. If a person is not healthy, has an open wound, or is immunocompromised, a fungal infection can be very aggressive.

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
