Abstract
After training cats to differentiate one lever from another on the basis of touch (differences in form, softness and roughness) with one forepaw, transfer training was done with the other fore-paw. Ss were four normal cats and four with sectioned corpus callosum. The degree of transfer was indicated by median savings scores of 76% for the normal group and [long dash]8% for the operated group. "It is concluded that in cats the corpus callosum is essential for the contralateral transfer of somesthetic discriminations from one to the other forepaw. ".Keywords
