This study was undertaken to investigate whether or not translation takes place in cross-modal matching (CMM) by using the measure of reaction time (RT). In Experiment I, differences in RTs between CMM and intramodal matching (IMM) at three levels of ISI were examined when both modalities of the first and the second stimulus were fixed. In Experiment II, the modality of the second stimulus was uncertain. In the fixed condition, the RTs of two CMMs were slower than that of two IMMs at the short ISI condition but not at the long ISI condition. In the uncertain condition, differences in RTs between CMM and IMM were partially found at the long ISI condition. These results indicate that the translation process exists in CMM.
