Kinesthetic Aftereffects are in the Hands,Not in Phenomenal Space

Abstract

Kinesthetic figural aftereffects (KFAE) were measured in 44 Ss to determine whether satiation occurs in the hands or in phenomenal three-dimensional space. KFAE of equal sign and magnitude occurred in the hands handling the satiation objects whether the arms were crossed or uncrossed during the satiation period. Therefore the satiation effect is in the hands, not in phenomenal space.
