Abstract
Lindauer, Stergiou, and Penn (1986) found that affective, sensory, and cognitive judgments of aesthetic objects were similar across visual and tactile modes of presentation. The present study (N=60) attempted to specify the possible locus of equivalence. Descriptions were given to aesthetic and quasi-aesthetic objects which were seen, touched, or both seen and touched. The latency, duration, and frequency of the descriptions (representing input, mediation, and output stages, respectively) were recorded. Evidence of equivalence between the senses was again found on all measures and modes of presentation.
