The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Early experience determines how the senses will interact. (2007, background): “It is also important to note that there were no compensatory auditory receptive field shifts seen here, such as those seen after rearing animals with deviations of the visual axis (King et al. 1988; Knudsen and Brainard 1991, 1995).”
Visual Experience Is Necessary for the Development of Multisensory Integration (2004, background): “What is not evident from these studies is whether these experiences, so critical for the normal development of individual sensory systems, as well as for the normal cross-modal topography seen in multisensory structures (King et al., 1988; Knudsen and Brainard, 1991; Benedetti and Ferro, 1995), play”
