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.
