Serial adaptation to conflicting prismatic rearrangement effects in monkey and man

Perception. 1977;6(1):15-29. doi: 10.1068/p060015.

Abstract

Seven adult male squirrel monkeys adapted successfully to prisms displacing in equal and opposite directions. After protracted training under certain conditions, they succeeded in conserving adaptation to both prisms without benefit of readaptation trials. Results obtained with thirty-six undergraduates under similar conditions of test (although for a much shorter period) are also reported.
