If you are asked whether one object could be rotated to match another one, you say you answered it by picturing its motion in your head. What evidence did Shepard and Metzler produce to show that your process really is like watching something move?
What will be an ideal response?
They showed people pairs of objects and asked whether one could rotate to match the other one. On trials where the answer was "yes," they found that people's delay in answering was directly proportional to how far the object would have to rotate to match the other. That is, something rotating 60 degrees would take people twice as long to answer as something that had to rotate only 30 degrees.
