• Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, positive): “(Putzar, Goerendt, et al., 2010; Putzar et al., 2007; Putzar, Hötting, et al., 2010) results, like the previously reviewed results from animal work, demonstrate unequivocally that early access to auditory and visual inputs is essential for the development of normal multisensory functions and that su”
• The Integrated Development of Sensory Organization (2011, background): “Putzar and colleagues [88, 89] recently documented that human adults deprived of visual experience during the first 5-24 months following birth as a result of congenital cataracts show reduced audio-visual interactions as adults.”
• Plasticity of multisensory dorsal stream functions: Evidence from congenitally blind and sighted adults (2010, background): “Recent findings in animals (Wallace et al., 2004; Carriere et al., 2007) and humans (Röder et al., 2007; Putzar et al., 2007) clearly emphasise the role of sensory experiences during the first months of life for the development of multisensory perception and action control.”
• Infants deploy selective attention to the mouth of a talking face when learning speech (2012, background): “Findings from studies of patients with congenital dense cataracts who have been deprived of early visual input have shown that these patients exhibit multisensory processing deficits (36), as well as audiovisual speech perception deficits (56).”
• Early visual deprivation affects the development of face recognition and of audio-visual speech perception (2010, background): “…that in humans visual deprivation impairs bimodal integration capacities as well: cataract patients showed a reduced audio-visual capture effect in an interference paradigm, and were not able to benefit from the presence of a second modality to improve speech perception (Putzar et al., 2007).”
