The transfer of learning between normal and monocularly-transformed small-disparity, random-dot stereostimuli has been examined under extended viewing conditions. When the disparity value was constant, transfer of learning between normal and monocularly-transformed stereostimuli was disrupted by both low-frequency and high-frequency transformations. These results suggest that stereolearning is restricted to disparity units that are selective to the same spatial-frequency characteristics.
