Generalisation to novel exemplars of learned shape categories based on visual and auditory spatial cues does not benefit from multisensory information
Although the integration of information across multiple senses can enhance object representations in memory, how multisensory information affects the formation of categories is uncertain. In particular, it is unclear to what extent categories formed from multisensory information benefit object recognition over unisensory inputs. Two experiments investigated the categorisation of novel auditory and visual objects, with categories defined by spatia…
Primary Schoolers' Response to a Multisensory Serious Game on Cartesian Plane Coordinates in Immersive Virtual Reality
The Cartesian coordinate system is a fundamental concept for mathematics and science and poses a teaching challenge at primary school level. Learning the Cartesian coordinate system has the potential to promote numerical cognition through number–space associations, as well as core geometric concepts, including isometric transformations, symmetry, and shape perception. Immersive virtual reality (VR) facilitates embodied forms of teaching and learn…
Self-reported vividness of tactile imagery for object properties and body regions
Mental imagery ability has been examined principally in the visual domain. Despite evidence for tactile mental representations in the absence of direct stimulation, this ability is poorly understood. We investigated tactile imagery for both active and passive tasks in a large sample (N = 118). Vividness of imagery was tested across two different tasks: somatosensory imagery (of body sensitivity) and tactile imagery (of object properties) in all p…
Haptic recognition memory and lateralisation for verbal and nonverbal shapes
Laterality effects generally refer to an advantage for verbal processing in the left hemisphere and for non-verbal processing in the right hemisphere, and are often demonstrated in memory tasks in vision and audition. In contrast, their role in haptic memory is less understood. In this study, we examined haptic recognition memory and laterality for letters and nonsense shapes. We used both upper and lower case letters, with the latter designed as…
Seeing an image of the hand affects performance on a crossmodal congruency task for sequences of events
Integration of faces and voices, but not faces and names, in person recognition
Recent studies on cross‐modal recognition suggest that face and voice information are linked for the purpose of person identification. We tested whether congruent associations between familiarized faces and voices facilitated subsequent person recognition relative to incongruent associations. Furthermore, we investigated whether congruent face and name associations would similarly benefit person identification relative to incongruent face and nam…
The sound of the crowd
Although both auditory and visual information can influence the perceived emotion of an individual, how these modalities contribute to the perceived emotion of a crowd of characters was hitherto unknown. Here, we manipulated the ambiguity of the emotion of either a visual or auditory crowd of characters by varying the proportions of characters expressing one of two emotional states. Using an intersensory bias paradigm, unambiguous emotional infor…
