“…This type of bias was further demonstrated with adults in marketing and psychological studies [ 4 , 7 ]. Typically, subjects tend to judge more elongated objects as greater in size compared to less elongated shapes: rectangles are perceived as larger than squares of equal area [ 8 , 9 ]. According to multiple authors [ 4 – 6 , 10 ] this bias illustrates the fact that perceivers center or anchor their attention on one single salient dimension of the space e.g.…”

Cultural differences in spatial perception have been little investigated, which gives rise to the impression that spatial cognitive processes might be universal. Contrary to this idea, we demonstrate cultural differences in spatial volume perception of computer generated rooms between Germans and South Koreans. We used a psychophysical task in which participants had to judge whether a rectangular room was larger or smaller than a square room of reference. We systematically varied the room rectangularity (depth to width aspect ratio) and the viewpoint (middle of the short wall vs. long wall) from which the room was viewed. South Koreans were significantly less biased by room rectangularity and viewpoint than their German counterparts. These results are in line with previous notions of general cognitive processing strategies being more context dependent in East Asian societies than Western ones. We point to the necessity of considering culturally-specific cognitive processing strategies in visual spatial cognition research.

We present a study of spin vector orientations of 44749 r-magnitude SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) galaxies having redshift 0.10 to 0.11. The r -magnitudes are observed through 616.5 nm CCD (charge coupled device) filter attached to SDSS telescope located at New Mexico, USA. We have converted two dimensional data to three dimensional galaxy rotation axes. Our aim is to find out non-random effects in the spatial orientation of galaxies. In addition, we wanted to check r-magnitude dependence in the spatial orientation. The expected isotropy distribution curves are obtained by removing the selection effects and performing a random simulation method. In general, spin vector orientations of galaxies is found to be random, supporting Hierarchy model of galaxy formation. A local anisotropy is observed in few samples suggesting a gravitational tidal interaction between neighbor galaxies.

“…where, i is the inclination angle, α is right ascension, δ is declination and p is position angle. The inclination angle is obtained by using Holmberg formula [11] 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑖 = 𝑞 2 −𝑞 * 2 1−𝑞 * 2 …………………… (3) where, q is the axial ratio (b/a) and q* is the intrinsic flatness of the galaxy. In the present work, we used q* = 0.05 for morphologically identified spiral galaxies.…”

We present a study of the three-dimensional orientation of spin vector of i – magnitude having higher redshift ranging from 0.54 to 0.60 with respect to the equilateral co-ordinate system. The main aim of this work is to know the orientation and projection of the spin vector of distant galaxies. The database is taken from SDSS 14th data release (DR-14) and this redshift range contains 239,209 galaxies. SDSS provides two – dimensional observed data, we convert it into three-dimension rotation axes of the galaxy with the help of the ‘position angle inclination method’. The expected isotropy distribution curves are obtained by removing the selection effects and performing a random simulation generating 107 virtual galaxies. To check, isotropy or anisotropy we have to carry out four statistical tests: chi-square, auto-correlation coefficient, first-order Fourier series, and First-order Fourier probability. In the study, we observed random orientation of spin vector of galaxies in all twenty samples and supported a strongly Hierarchy model of galaxy evolution. Also, the projection of spin vector is found to be isotropic in samples i01, i02, i03, i16, i17, i18, i19, and i20 and the remaining samples i04 to i15 are seen as local anisotropic due to the merging phenomenon of galaxies and tidal effect. This shows the problem in a coordinate system. BIBECHANA 19 (2022) 68-74
