Abstract

This study tested the assumption that sensory conditioning (repetitive pairings of two stimuli) would yield an image, or analogue thereof, of the second stimulus (a tone) of 750 Hz. upon later presentation of the first (a light). The contention was tested by educing the image in a context where it would influence tonal judgments as would an actual tone presentation. Results suggested support for the hypothesis in that the predicted displacement of judgment functions was significant. However, the difference between the imaged tone and an intermodal effect from a light presentation failed of statistical significance. The results were interpreted in terms of variables operating to produce imagery and a more sensitive experimental design was suggested.
