Abstract
Audiovisual integration: an introduction to behavioral and neuro-cognitive methods
Highlights
Decades of research on audiovisual speech integration has, broadly speaking, reshaped the way language processing is conceptualized in the field
Methods for determining whether “integration” occurs have, for example, involved examining whether a listener is susceptible to the McGurk effect, as we shall in a study by Setti et al (2013) in the Research Topic
The broader aim of this Research Topic was to investigate the variety of manners in which neural measures of multisensory language processing could be anchored to behavioral indices of integration
Summary
Decades of research on audiovisual speech integration has, broadly speaking, reshaped the way language processing is conceptualized in the field. A pioneering study by McGurk and MacDonald (1976) further demonstrated a form of integration phenomenon in which incongruent auditory-visual speech signals contribute to a fused or combined percept. Methods for determining whether “integration” occurs have, for example, involved examining whether a listener is susceptible to the McGurk effect, as we shall in a study by Setti et al (2013) in the Research Topic.
