Abstract
Conducted 5 experiments on the adaptation to rotation of the visual field of a total of 352 undergraduate Ss. All were similar in that they restricted movement during exposure to the visual rotation to one direction and subsequently tested for adaptation with movements in other directions. Positive transfer of adaptation to the new directions was found in all experiments. The amount of adaptation varied in a curvilinear pattern as a function of the difference between the exposure direction and the new directions. Moreover, this curvilinear pattern reflected the predominant contribution of a motor or proprioceptive component to visual-motor adaptation. The implications of these results for integrated perceptual-motor coordination systems are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
