We examined the effects of plane rotation, task, and visual complexity on the recognition of familiar and chimeric objects. The effects of rotation, with response times increasing linearly and monotonically with rotation from the upright, were equivalent for tasks requiring different degrees of visual differentiation of the target from contrasting stimuli--namely, (1) deciding whether the stimulus was living or nonliving (semantic classification), (2) deciding whether the stimulus was an object or a nonobject (object decision), and (3) naming. The effects of complexity, with shorter response times to more complex stimuli, were most apparent in semantic classification and object decision and were additive with the effects of rotation. We discuss the implications of these results for theories of the relationship between the process of normalization and the determining of object identity.
