cross-modal transfer  

Définition

  • Can a person born blind, upon gaining sight, differentiate between a sphere and a cube using vision alone? In other words, can knowledge previously learned by touch be used to inform vision? This question, first posed by William Molyneux in the late 17th century, concerns cross-modal (across senses) transfer, when information gathered in one sensory modality (e.g., touch) transfers to knowledge in another sensory modality (e.g., vision). Cross-modal (CM) transfer results from stimulus characteristics that are related across the senses. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Cross-Modal Transfer]
