Abstract
The Connolly and Jones model which postulates that translation between modalities in the cross-modal paradigm occurs before storage in short-term memory was examined. In general, the translation notion was not supported. Delaying until the end of the retention interval knowledge of the reproduction mode failed to produce a matching performance decrement. Subjects [human] were able to maintain the code of original presentation through the retention interval even when they did not expect reproduction to be in this mode. The asymmetry in the cross-medal matching of visual (V) and kinesthetic (K) information, whereby K-V performance is more accurate than V-K performance, occurred only under certain visual display conditions. The implications for general models of cross-modal translation were discussed.
