The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of Takano's (1989) multi-process theory of mirror reversal by comparing it to the other theories. This study first confirmed that some people do not recognize left-right mirror reversal of their own mirror images. The multi-process theory predicted that those people would recognize mirror reversal of letters, whereas all the other theories predicted that those people would not recognize mirror reversal of letters, either. This study showed 102 students various mirror images, and found that 33.3% of them did not recognize mirror reversal of their own mirror images, whereas 100% of them did recognize mirror reversal of letters. These results unmistakably endorse the multi-process theory.

本研究的目的是通过与其他理论进行比较，研究 Takano（1989）的镜像反转多过程理论的有效性。这项研究首次证实，有些人无法识别自己镜像的左右镜像颠倒。多过程理论预测这些人会识别字母的镜像反转，而所有其他理论预测这些人也不会识别字母的镜像反转。这项研究向102名学生展示了各种镜像，结果发现，33.3%的学生没有认出自己镜像的镜像反转，而100%的学生认出了字母的镜像反转。这些结果无疑支持了多过程理论。
