Abstract: In the experiment on visual vs. visual-kinesthetic localization, Ss saw a spot and then tried to locate it with vision and kinaesthesis, it was found that the localization was quite accurate. When Ss located the spot with monocular vision or through a mirror in a slower speed, there was no difficulty, but with a faster speed, the errors increased.In the experiment on kinesthetic vs. kinesthetic-visual localization, Ss saw and touched the spot with the right band and then located it with vision and kinaesthesis (also with the right hand), it was quite accurate. When Ss touched the spot and then located it with kinaesthesis alone, the errors slightly increased. The least accurate was when Ss saw and touched the spot and then located it by kinaesthesis alone.When Ss touched a spot blindfolded with his right hand and then located it with the left hand and vice versa, or when Ss located a light spot with vision and kinaesthesis in a darkroom, the errors of localization increased greatly. The most difficult localization was when Ss saw a spot and then located it with kinaesthesis or touched a spot (with the right hand) and then located it with vision, the errors under both conditions increased very greatly.There was a significant reduction of error on visual-kinesthetic localization with practice. Most Ss showed a tendency to make errors underneath and to the left of the target in localization.
