Three experiments were carried out in which subjects transferred from a body‐orientated to a space‐orientated visual‐motor acquisition control task. The first experiment compared the effect of such transfer upon gross and fine acquisition time; the second examined the effect of reversed target orientation; and the third examined possible changes in the type of learning with respect to time. Each experiment involved the use of two groups of six subjects. It was found that both gross and fine acquisition time are adversely affected; that reversal of target orientation had scant effect; and that the body frame of reference was more important in learning at all stages.
