15 Os presented with discordant auditory and tactile information about the location of the same object, compensated rapidly for an auditory re-arrangement when asked to point at an unseen auditory target. Unlike most perceptual compensation studies, movement by O was not permitted. It is suggested that discordance between or among different kinds of spatial information may be the condition that leads to compensation for re-arrangement.
