Spinning-Dancer Visual Perception
Definitions:
Write-down (or type) answers to the following questions, here, in class:
Initially, does the dancer appear to be spinning clockwise, or counterclockwise?
On average, about how many rotations occur before the spin changes directions?
Does it more-often appear to spin clockwise, or counterclockwise?
Does the direction change when you blink your eyes?
Does the direction change when you move closer or farther away from the image?
Do particular thoughts cause the direction to change? (If so, which thoughts?)
Can you make the direction change (or stay the same) just by willing it to change (or stay the same)?
Is there anything else you're able to do to make the direction change?
Are you left-handed?
Discuss and compare all of your answers with those of at least two of your classmates. Take notes on your discussion.
