and objects in our environment we produce continuous changes in proprioceptive and …

That the senses provide overlapping information for objects and events is no extravagance
of nature. This overlap facilitates attention to critical aspects of sensory stimulation, those …

This research examined the developmental course of infants' ability to perceive affect in
bimodal (audiovisual) and unimodal (auditory and visual) displays of a woman speaking …

Abstract L. Bahrick and R. Lickliter (2000) proposed an intersensory redundancy hypothesis
that states that information presented redundantly and in temporal synchrony across two or …

There is a growing interest in the role of biological and behavioral rhythms in typical and
