“…As seen in Table 1, there does appear to be a significant interaction with modality. This information was summarized in Freides (1974), and nothing stated in Warm et al (1977), despite their vituperation, mandates its revision. Finally, Warm et al (1977) make much ado about the phrase "subjects with different histories are being compared."…”

Finally, Warm et al (1977) make much ado about the phrase "subjects with different histories are being compared." I agree that it was a poor formulation.…”

“…The issue in dispute between Warm, Schumsky, and Clark (1977) and myself originated in Gaydos' (19S6) report that visual scores following touch experience were superior to touch scores following visual experience. These data had been interpreted to support the classic empiricist position that touch transfers better to vision than does the converse.…”

The vituperative criticism leveled at the 1974 Freides review for its analysis of the inadequacies in the 1972 Clark, Warm, and Schumsky study does not correct the fault of a statistical analysis that fails to take into account a training-transfer design necessarily involving repeated measures on the same subject. The evidence for the fault is presented in detail, and the criticism is rejected. The inadequacy of a poorly formulated sentence in the review is, however, acknowledged.

“…For example, in some cross-modal studies the procedures used have unwittingly handicapped touch relative to vision (Rose, Blank, & Bridger, 1972), or alternatively, enhanced visual performance by providing more discrimination cues during visual presentation (Diewert & Stelmach, 1977). Moreover, judging from current dispute over what constitutes an adequate test of cross-modal transfer (Freides, 1977;Warm, Schumsky, & Clark, 1977), basic methodological questions still seek satisfactory answers.…”

Groups of Grad 1, high school students, and elderly subjects were tested for their ability to discriminate tactile forms. The performance of control subjects who received no prior training was compared with that of subjects who received prior visual training under normal viewing conditions (Vw), or prior visual training with special goggles restricting form perception to a series of part impressions (Vp). Both the visual and tactile versions of the task involved comparisons of standard figures matched either with themselves or with transformation figures. There was no evidence of transfer for the children, regardless of previous experience. Specific as well as nonspecific cross-modal transfer was found in the high school and elderly groups following Vp training. Positive transfer was also found for the high school students in the Vw condition, although there is some question whether this was the result solely of cross-modal effects. Whereas all age groups performed equally well on standard versus transformation comparisons, standard versus standard matches were highest in the high school students, lowest in the children, and intermediate in the elderly. The generally poor performance of the children and the inability on the part of the elderly to benefit from Vw training are discussed in terms of task difficulty and inefficient perceptual processing strategies.
