Typescript. Bibliography: leaves 73-77. iii, 77 leaves ill., diagrs., tables Intersensory influence has been regarded as an established fact for many years, and it has been accorded much investigation. Its parameters, however, are surprisingly unknown (London, 1954). It is becoming increasingly clear that these parameters are of more than academic interest. They would not only serve as guides in constructing models and seeking physiological mechanisms but would also prove to be of practical significance in obtaining optimal efficiency of modality responses of human and infrahuman organisms. For if the effects of other modality stimulation on the efficiency of response in one sense modality are known, we will be able to obtain greater efficiency in any setting which is dependent upon responses of these modalities.
