Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, neutral): “Before accepting the undoubtedly controversial claim that speech really is ‘special’ (see also Saldaña and Rosenblum, 1993; Tuomainen et al., 2005; though see Rosenblum, 2008; Vroomen and Stekelenburg, 2011), a number of alternative explanations for these null results need to be ruled out first.”
The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing (2016, background): “While expectations (e.g. Tuomainen et al. 2005; Stevenson and Wallace 2013) and long-term experiences (e.g. Froyen et al. 2009; Matusz et al. 2015b; ten Oever et al. 2013) are vital to the presence and the effects of many multisensory processes that are dependent on object matching, sensitivity to…”
Facilitation of multisensory integration by the "unity effect" reveals that speech is special. (2008, background): “…may lie in the existence of a “specific mode of perception” that refers to the structural and functional processes related with the articulatory gestures of speech and/or to the perceptual processes associated with the phonetic cues that are present in speech signals (Tuomainen et al., 2005).”
Perception of intersensory synchrony in audiovisual speech: not that special. (2011, background): “We expected that incongruent lipread information would strongly bias the proper identification of an SWS sound if that sound was heard as speech, but the visual influence should be greatly diminished if the sound was heard as non-speech (Tuomainen et al., 2005).”
The Effects of Visual Beats on Prosodic Prominence: Acoustic Analyses, Auditory Perception and Visual Perception. (2007, background): “Both these theories have claimed that the fact that human listeners use visual as well as acoustic information in speech perception (e.g., Dodd & Campbell, 1987; Schwartz, Berthommier, & Savariaux, 2004; Tuomainen, Andersen, Tiippana, & Sams, 2005 ) offers support for a gestural account of speech p”
The Curious Incident of Attention in Multisensory Integration: Bottom-up vs. Top-down (2016, unknown): “On the basis of the latter studies, it has been argued that audio- visual speech perception is a special form of multisensory processing (Tuomainen et al., 2005; Vatakis et al, 2008; ) (cf. Vroomen and Stekelenburg, 2011).”
