Bisensory augmentation of complex spoken passages

Abstract:
The role of the complexity of spoken passages on the magnitude of bisensory augmentation was investigated. The comprehension of 30 undergraduates was measured when listening to clearly audible but conceptually difficult auditory-visual (AV) spoken passages, which showed an advantage over similar spoken passages heard alone (A), at three levels of complexity. Comprehension was superior in the AV relative to the A condition and the bisensory augmentation effect increased with linguistic complexity.
