Abstract
Change in visuomotor direction and orientation was measured following simultaneous exposure to optical displacement and tilt. Adaptation to both transforms simultaneously was not different from adaptation to each transform separately. These results are consistent with previous work involving purely visual change, and suggest that the two kinds of adaptation involve independent processes for locus-specific and relational analysis.
