Previous studies have shown that subjects could acquire a prismatic aftereffect contingent on the direction of gaze. Other studies have shown that subjects could acquire two simultaneous aftereffects with multiple cues. In the present study 12 subjects practiced alternately under two opposite 20-diopter lateral displacements and displayed two gaze-contingent aftereffects.
