Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “In an early study, Engel and Dougherty (1971) reported that people’s perception of audiovisual simultaneity is systematically shifted with the distance of the stimulus location (see also Sugita and Suzuki, 2003; Alais and Carlile, 2005; though see Arnold et al., 2005).”
Rapid Recalibration to Audiovisual Asynchrony (2013, background): “For a synchronized audiovisual event occurring in the near field, audition will be perceived before vision (by 30 ms; Alais and Carlile, 2005) because neural transduction for audition is much faster than for vision and this more than compensates for the slower speed of sound.”
Perception of intersensory synchrony: A tutorial review (2010, unknown): “Some have reported that judgments about audio–visual synchrony were found to depend on perceived distance (Alais & Carlile, 2005; Engel & Dougherty, 1971; Kopinska & Harris, 2004; Sugita & Suzuki, 2003), but others failed to demonstrate these effects (Arnold, Johnston, & Nishida, PSSs remained…”
