Abstract
Adaptation to prismatic displacement was conditioned to a tone in 72 min of training by employing Taylor’s alternation training technique. The alternation consisted of two training conditions. In one, S was exposed to the prism and tone; in the other, S was exposed to neither. After training, the pointing to a visual target test measured more aftereffects of adaptation when the tone was present than when it was absent. Conditioning was obtained in two testing situations: (1) with the training goggles still worn by S, and (2) with the goggles removed.
