15. WG3 COST B27 MK national report, Istanbul, September 3. 2005 15/20 EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS learning was much faster for compound stimuli (slope= -31.8) than only auditory (slope= - 23.0) or only visual (slope= - 13.3) stimuli. The compound versus simple percept discrepancy was predicted by the model.
