Abstract
Sequential patterns of tones presented aurally and visually (by means of oscilloscope displays of corresponding sine waves) served as stimuli in a paired-associates learning task; nonsense syllables were the response terms. In 2 procedures, each using 80 Ss, transfer of training from the auditory to the visual task, and the converse, were investigated. As hypothesized, positive transfer occurred when the visual and auditory stimuli corresponded; negative transfer occurred with the reassignment of response terms to stimuli in the transfer task. Results of the experiment offer evidence for intermodal transfer. Perceptual and mediational models are considered in interpreting the results.
