q2 i? Occasional tests with the unused eye during the latter third of the series yielded corresponding successes, showing practice with one eye afforded practice for the other. → J. E. Wallace Wallin 1905

q2 · i? · causal · r?

From the same reversible-perspective practice series, occasional unpracticed-eye tests during the latter third of the series produced successes corresponding to the practiced eye, which the author describes as cross-education of the other retina.

"it was found that the practice results had been transferred to the unpracticed eye. Occasional tests were made with the unused eye during the latter third of the series, and corresponding successes were obtained. Practice with one eye afforded practice for the other unused eye."
