在两个实验中，大鼠首先接受预暴露于矩形竞技场，其中几何等效角对（G1和G2）与不同的亮度特性（C1和C2，分别）相一致。在实验1中，将大鼠放置在一个均匀的灰色矩形竞技场中，其中食物位于一对几何上相等的角（G1），而不是另一对角（G2）。最后，大鼠在一个正方形竞技场中用C1和C2进行测试，并且更喜欢在C1而不是C2中搜索。在实验2中，预先暴露于G1C1和G2C2后，大鼠在正方形竞技场中接受C1与食物和C2与无食物的配对。在测试过程中，大鼠更喜欢在灰色矩形竞技场中搜索G1而不是G2。这些结果表明，互惠内复合协会之间的几何和亮度信息的发展，从而挑战的观点，有一个专用的几何模块，是无法穿透的信息，不是几何。
In two experiments, rats first received preexposure to a rectangular arena in which the geometrically equivalent comer pairs (G1 and G2) were coincident with different luminance characteristics (C1 and C2, respectively). In Experiment 1, rats were then placed in a uniform gray rectangular arena where food was located in one geometrically equivalent pair of comers (G1), but not another (G2). Finally, rats were tested in a square arena with Cl and C2 and preferred to search in C1 rather than C2. In Experiment 2, following preexposure to G1C1 and G2C2, rats received pairings of C1 with food and C2 with no food in a square arena. During testing, rats preferred to search in G1 rather than G2 in a gray rectangular arena. These results demonstrate that reciprocal within-compound associations develop between geometric and luminance information and thereby challenge the view that there is a dedicated geometric module that is impenetrable to information that is not geometric.
