A TACTILE SPATIAL AFTEREFFECT FROM CUTANEOUS STIMULATION ON THE ANTERIOR SURFACES OF THE FOREARMS HAS BEEN CLAIMED IN A RECENT REPORT. IT WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE PRESENT STUDY THAT COVARIATION OF THE STIMULATORS EMPLOYED TO INDUCE THE AFTEREFFECT AND THE SERIES OF COMPARISON STIMULI USED IN MEASURING IT, CONFOUNDED THE RESULTS OF THE PREVIOUS EXPERIMENT AND THAT MOST OF THE VARIANCE WAS DUE TO ADAPTATION TO THE DIFFERENT SERIES. IT IS SUGGESTED ALSO THAT THE REMAINING VARIANCE POSSIBLY WAS NOT DUE TO TACTILE STIMULATION. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
