Abstract
Assessed the relative contributions of specific and nonspecific components to intersensory transfer between vision and touch. 25 male and 35 female adults served as Ss. A paired-associate paradigm was used in which visual metric figures and their tactual analogues served as stimuli, and familiar adjectives were the responses. Positive intersensory transfer, characterized by symmetry across modalities, was obtained. The contribution of nonspecific learning to this effect was negligible. Intersensory transfer was less efficient than the empirically determined maximum level of intrasensory transfer possible in this task. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
