Abstract
Six-month-old infants were familiarized tactually with a cube or a sphere. Cross-modal transfer was then tested by visually presenting both the cube and the sphere. Visual behavior during the test period showed that the infants were influenced by the immediately preceding tactual experience. The infants familiarized with the cube looked at the cube significantly more than the infants familiarized with the sphere; they also shifted their fixations from one stimulus to the other significantly more often. A visual intramodal comparison group showed similar behavior on test trials with the same stimuli, suggesting that the cross-modal condition in this particular study was not more difficult than the intramodal one.
