Opposite responding in two sense modalities.

Monkeys were trained to respond in one way to a pair of solid objects when discrimination was by touch; in the opposite way, when by vision. These opposite habits are formed independently and can be used concurrently. The finding suggests that the neural systems responsible for tactile and visual learning are separate, even with a single pair of objects.

Perceptual categorization is associated with sensory performance in patients with unilateral cerebral lesions.

In this investigation of perceptual categorization (PC), .right-sided brain-damaged patients (RBD) were not impaired for PC of line drawings of animals relative to left-sided brain-damaged (LBD) patients, contrary to what was expected from previous work. Moreover, in both LBD and RBD patients PC performance was significantly associated with performance on a series of 6 sensory tests. These differed from conventional tests in that successive comparisons were required; and in 2 of the 6 tests gratings were discriminated.
