Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “…correspondences typically constitute relative, rather than absolute, mappings between modality-specific dimensions (such as higher pitch and larger size, see Gallace and Spence, 2006), while semantically congruent stimuli refer to those features/attributes mapped to a common object or category.”
That sounds sweet: using cross-modal correspondences to communicate gustatory attributes (2015, background): “…up response latencies across several experimental paradigms including speeded detection, classification, and visual search (Evans & Treisman 2010; Gallace & Spence 2006; Marks 1987; Walker 2012), indicating facilitation / interference processes operating on an automatic, perceptual level (Parise…”
Intersensory binding across space and time: A tutorial review (2013, background): “…between stimulus features such as pitch/loudness in the auditory dimension with size/brightness in the visual dimension (Evans & Treisman, 2010; Gallace & Spence, 2006; GuzmanMartinez, Ortega, Grabowecky, Mossbridge & Suzuki, 2012; Makovac & Gerbino, 2010; Parise & Spence, 2008, 2009, 2012;…”
The effect of synesthetic associations between the visual and auditory modalities on the Colavita effect (2015, background): “1 3 response-compatibility effects of other studies (Gallace and Spence 2006; Evans and Treisman 2010).”
Multisensory design: Reaching out to touch the consumer (2011, background): “Note that synesthetic correspondences have also been demonstrated in neurologically normal individuals (e.g., Gallace & Spence, 2006).”
‘When Birds of a Feather Flock Together’: Synesthetic Correspondences Modulate Audiovisual Integration in Non-Synesthetes (2009, result): “It should be noted, however, that the synesthetic associations studied here (as well as in many other studies, see [1–3,5,7–10,13]) are likely relative rather than absolute, depending on the particular range of stimuli used.”
Crossmodal correspondences: A tutorial review (2011, background): “3 a Schematic time line and stimuli from Gallace and Spence’s (2006) experiments highlighting the consequences of the crossmodal correspondence between auditory pitch and visual size for participants’ speeded discrimination responses.”
When “Bouba” equals “Kiki”: Cultural commonalities and cultural differences in sound-shape correspondences (2016, unknown): “ωθ φ θ = + + r A r( ) (1 sin ( )) (1) mean”
Sounds Big: The Effects of Acoustic Pitch on Product Perceptions (2017, background): “…a visual categorization task, multisensory integration may still occur, as congruence between simultaneously presented sonic and visual stimuli (e.g., low tone and large object) still led to greater speed and accuracy in classifying the relative size of the visual stimuli (Gallace and Spence 2006).”
Does crossmodal correspondence modulate the facilitatory effect of auditory cues on visual search? (2012, background): “…between auditory pitch and visual brightness were to be semantic in nature, it could possibly never manifest itself at a preattentive stage of perceptual processing (see also Gallace & Spence, 2006), while a structural or statistical correspondence might (see Ernst, 2007; Parise & Spence, 2009).”
No effect of synesthetic congruency on temporal ventriloquism (2010, background): “Synesthetic associations have, for instance, been demonstrated between the visual dimensions of brightness, lightness, size, and shape and the auditory dimensions of pitch and loudness (Evans & Treisman, 2010; Gallace & Spence, 2006; Makovac & Gerbino, 2010; Marks, 1987; Walker et al., 2010).”
