    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Information complexity impacts how we process visual and somatosensory data. Accuracy in matching procedures depends on information complexity and sensory modality, with experimenter and subject sex influencing simple, but not complex, information processing.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Human Factors

    Background:

    • Understanding how humans process information across different sensory modalities is crucial for various fields.
    • Previous research often examined single sensory modalities, limiting cross-modal insights.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare intra-modal and cross-modal information processing at varying complexity levels.
    • To investigate the influence of information sequence and participant demographics on matching accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects performed a matching procedure using visual and somatosensory modalities.
    • Information complexity was manipulated, and sequence effects were controlled.
    • Sex of the experimenter and subject were systematically varied.

    Main Results:

    • Accuracy patterns differed across modality combinations and varied with information complexity.
    • The effect of information sequence was dependent on complexity level.
    • Experimenter and subject sex significantly affected performance with simple information, but not complex information.

    Conclusions:

    • Information complexity is a key factor modulating cross-modal and intra-modal processing.
    • Demographic factors like sex can play a role, particularly with less complex information.
    • Findings support and extend generalizations from prior single-modality studies.
