The results of a previous experiment showed that a bilateral kinesthetic difference did not obtain when tactual-kinesthetic judgments were made with the left and right hands. The present experiment was designed to eliminate the possible contribution of visual and kinesthetic figural aftereffects to the directional bias of errors. Results indicate that performance was equivalent with the left and right hands.
