Here, we show experimental evidence for MePMoS theory, whereby human reaction time for recognizing scaled and rotated objects positively correlates with the degree by which the object is altered from its learned spatial representation. This work builds on previous results from Dr. Arisaka’s Elegant Mind Club at UCLA, where an intermediate size (or zero rotation) stimulus yields fastest reaction time, and reaction time symmetrically linearly increases, depending on additional spatial changes to the stimulus. Results and interpretations are discussed.
