Audio-Visual Integration in Temporal Perception - PubMed

The document summarizes a study on audio-visual integration in temporal perception. In the study, participants were asked to judge changes in the frequency of visual and auditory stimuli. The researchers confirmed that changes in auditory frequency induced perceived changes in visual frequency, consistent with prior research. However, they found a new phenomenon where ambiguous auditory cues led changes in visual frequency to induce perceived changes in auditory frequency as well, suggesting cross-modal effects depend on the reliability of sensory information.

Abstract
In situations of audio-visual interaction, research has generally found that audition prevails over vision
in temporal perception, while vision is dominant over audition for spatial perception. Modality
appropriateness to a given task generally determines the direction of this inter-modality effect.
However, we found a reverse effect in some situations where a change in the frequency of visual
stimuli was associated with a perceived change in the frequency of auditory stimuli. In our experiment,
12 participants were asked to judge the change in the frequency of visual and auditory stimuli using a
visual flicker and auditory flutter stimuli. In some conditions either the auditory or the visual
information was ambiguous. In addition to confirming the expected finding that a change in the
frequency of the auditory stimuli induced a perceived change in the frequency of the visual stimuli, we
found a new phenomenon. When ambiguous auditory temporal cues were presented, the change in
the frequency of the visual stimuli was associated with a perceived change in the frequency of the
auditory stimuli. This suggests that cross-modal asymmetry effects are influenced by the reliability of
visual and auditory information as well as modality appropriateness.
