Adaptation to Rearranged Ear-Hand Coordination

Abstract

Plasticity of ear-hand coordination for 10 Ss was explored with exposure to auditory rearrangement entailing 30° rotation of the interaural axis produced by electronic pseudophones. The results show that ear-hand coordination changes to compensate for the distortion; however, the percent change is not of the same order of magnitude as that usually discerned in adaptation to visual rearrangement.
