Abstract
Thirteen monkeys were given object-discrimination LS training both tactually and visually. Order of training, in the two modalities was varied. Analysis of performance in terms of Levine Hs suggested that Ss transferred systematic modes of response, rather than specific hypotheses, from one modality to another.
