Sensory specificity of apparent motion.

P G Allen, P A Kolers

    Journal of Experimental Psychology. Human Perception and Performance
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intermodal apparent motion research may have misapplied terms. A visual stimulus can enhance auditory motion perception, but no common sensory system integrates visual and auditory stimuli.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Sensory Integration

    Background:

    • Previous research suggested a 'common sense' integrates stimuli from different senses (intermodal apparent motion).
    • This common system was thought to combine heteromodal stimuli into novel perceptual objects under specific conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the concept of intermodal apparent motion.
    • To investigate the integration of visual and auditory stimuli in motion perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Experiment 1: Analyzed interpretations of meaningless heteromodal stimulation patterns.
    • Experiment 2: Assessed the effect of a timed visual stimulus on auditory apparent motion perception.

    Main Results:

    • Experiment 1 indicated that 'intermodal apparent motion' might be misapplied to idiosyncratic interpretations.
    • Experiment 2 showed visual stimuli can facilitate auditory apparent motion perception.
    • No evidence was found for a suprasensory system integrating visual and auditory stimuli.

    Conclusions:

    • The concept of intermodal apparent motion may require revision.
    • Auditory motion perception can be influenced by visual input without altering its core auditory qualities.
    • Current findings do not support a unified sensory integration system for visual and auditory stimuli.
