    The Necker cube and the Rubin vase, two examples of multistability. Multistability (or multistable perception) is the tendency of ambiguous perceptual experiences to pop back and forth between two or more alternative interpretations. This is seen, for example, in the Necker cube and Rubin's Figure/Vase illusion.

    Therefore, the cube root of 29791 is 31. Another example: Find the cube root of 456533. The cube root ends in 7. After the last three digits are taken away, 456 remains. 456 is greater than all the cubes up to 7 cubed. The first digit of the cube root is 7. The cube root of 456533 is 77.

    Examples of visually ambiguous patterns. From top to bottom: Necker cube, Schroeder stairs and a figure that can be interpreted as black or white arrows. Multistable perception (or bistable perception) is a perceptual phenomenon in which an observer experiences an unpredictable sequence of spontaneous subjective changes.

  5. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

    Mental rotation is the ability to rotate mental representations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects as it is related to the visual representation of such rotation within the human mind. [1] There is a relationship between areas of the brain associated with perception and mental rotation.

    The Necker cube is an optical illusion that was first published as a rhomboid in 1832 by Swiss crystallographer Louis Albert Necker. [1] It is a simple wire-frame , two dimensional drawing of a cube with no visual cues as to its orientation , so it can be interpreted to have either the lower-left or the upper-right square as its front side.

    The second is route-road knowledge, and is generally developed after a person has performed a task and is relaying the information of that task to another person. The third is a survey , whereby a person estimates a distance based on a mental image that, to them, might appear like an actual map.

  8. Elaboration likelihood model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaboration_likelihood_model

    The elaboration likelihood model (ELM) of persuasion [1] is a dual process theory describing the change of attitudes. The ELM was developed by Richard E. Petty and John Cacioppo in 1980. [2] The model aims to explain different ways of processing stimuli, why they are used, and their outcomes on attitude change.

  9. Dual-route hypothesis to reading aloud - Wikipedia

    v. t. e. The dual-route theory of reading aloud was first described in the early 1970s. [1] This theory suggests that two separate mental mechanisms, or cognitive routes, are involved in reading aloud, with output of both mechanisms contributing to the pronunciation of a written stimulus.
