Abstract
After-effects in haptic perception have been little studied. But they seem to be prominent, and easy to elicit. An after-effect of the perception of the vergence of two surfaces is described, and is shown to be independent of the slant of the surfaces. It is not “figural.” Spatial perception with the hands, as well as with the eyes, is apparently based on a fluid and adaptable receptive system.Keywords
