Across two experiments, congruent and incongruent pictures modulated performance during an auditory attention task: concurrent visual input increased response times overall, and incongruent pictures led to more errors than congruent ones. When visual stimuli preceded the sounds, the timing mattered \u2014 positive priming at 500 ms, but semantic inhibition of return at 750 ms.<\/p>\n<p>These results highlight that cross-modal priming differs from multisensory integration, and that temporal dynamics between modalities substantially shape attentional behaviour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This work was a collaboration between Carolin Breuer, Lukas Jonathan Vollmer, Larissa Leist, Stephan Fremerey, Alexander Raake, Maria Klatte and Janina Fels.<\/p>\n<p>It was funded by the Priority Programme <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spp2236-audictive.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPP2236 AUDICITVE<\/a> and the Research Training Group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtg2416.rwth-aachen.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(RTG) 2416 \u2013 MultiSenses, MultiScales<\/a>, both of which are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to everyone involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new paper \u201cExploring cross-modal perception in a virtual classroom: the effect of visual stimuli on auditory selective attention\u201d has been published in Frontiers in Psychology, as part of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3693,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98,4,45,120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asa","category-binaural","category-current","category-virtual-reality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3693"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3739"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3743,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3739\/revisions\/3743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/akustik\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
