In the present research, we propose an effective working plan of visual transpositionexperiment as one of the units of Elementary Psychological Experiments. It is not difficult to setthe dependent variable of the experiment —time necessary to perform imposed tasks—, but difficultto set the independent variables of it. As effective independent variables, we recommend (a) tocompare the time necessary to sit down in a chair between eyes-closed and up-down reversed visionconditions and (b) to compare the time necessary to wear a pair of slippers between up-down andleft-right reversed vision conditions.We conducted the above experiments for two classes of first-year psychology departmentstudents (n=26 and 22), with giving different instructions; for one class we instructed to perform thetasks quickly and for the other class we instructed to perform the tasks with appreciating theprecious experience. They showed an interesting tendency that the participants instructed toperform quickly took much time than the participants instructed to appreciate the tasks, especiallyin the left-right reversed vision condition. Concerning the visual conditions, the eyes-closedcondition was easiest and the left-right reversed vision condition was most difficult, which supportsour earlier data.
