Abstract
Two groups of Ss received monocular repeated trials with a large display of the Brentano version of the Muller-Lyer illusion. Intraocular transfer of practice effects of one group was compared to interocular transfer for the other group. The finding of similar transfer performance was interpreted as supportive of the operation of central factors in producing practice effects.
