Analogical transfer has been previously reported to occur between rule-based, but not information-integration, perceptual
category structures (Casale, Roeder, & Ashby, 2012). The current study investigated whether a similar pattern of results would
be observed in cross-modality transfer. Participants were trained on either a rule-based structure, or an information-integration
structure, using visual stimuli. They were then tested on auditory stimuli that had the same underlying abstract category
structure. Transfer performance was assessed relative to a control group who did not receive training on the visual stimuli. No
cross-modality transfer was found, irrespective of the category structure employed.
