Transfer and the organization of Perceptual-Motor space

Summary Three experiments are reported involving transfer of effects of different types of visual distortion: lateral displacement, linear extent, and visual rotation. Transfer between different body parts and between different dimensions of space occur but to varying degrees. These are interpreted in terms of their implications for understanding the organization of perceptual and perceptual-motor space.This research was supported by the Center for Research in Human Learning of the University of Minnesota, and by grants 1-K3-HD 12,396, HD 03082 to the University of Minnesota. The authors are indebted to Dr. Albert Yonas for helpful discussions of the results.
