Four experiments examined the Connolly & Jones (1970) model which postulates that translation between modalities in the cross-modal paradigm occurs before storage in short-term memory. In general, the results provided no support for the translation notion. Delaying until the end of the retention interval knowledge of the reproduction mode failed to produce a matching performance decrement. Subjects were able to maintain the code of original presentation through the retention interval even when they did not expect reproduction to be in this mode. In addition, the asymmetry in the cross-modal matching of visual (V) and kinaesthetic (K) information, whereby K-V performance is more accurate than V-K performance, was found to occur only under certain visual display conditions. The implications of these findings for general models of cross-modal translation were discussed.
四项实验对康诺利和琼斯（1970）的模型进行了检验，该模型假定跨通道范式中的通道间转换发生在短期记忆存储之前。总体而言，结果并未支持转换这一概念。将再现模式的知识延迟到保持间隔结束时，并未导致匹配表现下降。即使受试者不期望以这种模式进行再现，他们也能够在保持间隔期间维持原始呈现的编码。此外，视觉（V）和动觉（K）信息的跨通道匹配中的不对称性，即K-V表现比V-K表现更准确，被发现仅在某些视觉显示条件下才会出现。讨论了这些发现对跨通道转换一般模型的意义。
