Four groups of five subjects performed intramodal and cross-modal matching tasks. The stimuli to be matched were four positions of a moveable intercept presented either visually or kinesthetically. Performance was studied before and after a practice session during which only one matching combination was practiced and knowledge of results was given. Only groups receiving kinesthetic information during practice trials showed improvement.
