Abstract(in English) It has been pointed out the RT for recognizing 3-dobjects depends upon the viewpoint. If this fact reflects the involvement of the mental rotation process, along which path is an object rotated? By multiple regression analyses, the authors compared various models on different rotation paths: three-step rotation about the coordinate axes, two-step rotation based on Euler's angles, and single-step rotation along the shortest path. The results showed that the RT for naming the rotated familiar object is best predicted by the model which assumes the following two-step sequence: (a) rotation by which the object's top-bottom axis is adjusted to the environmental vertical axis, followed by (b) rotation about the vertical axis.
