Summary Four monkeys with their forebrain commissures transected during the newborn period and four others of comparable age but with their commissures sectioned in later life sustained further midsagittal section of the optic chiasma. They were then tested on the interocular transfer of a series of visual discrimination tasks involving brightness, color and pattern cues. No definite differences in the characteristics of transfer were found between the groups, and none of the animals exhibited clear-cut evidence for positive transfer on the tasks as a whole.
