Synesthesia: a new approach to understanding the development of perception. (2013, methodology): “On the basis of empirical work, Gibsonians argue that infants do not have the cognitive capacity to learn arbitrary associations until 4 –7 months of age (Bahrick et al., 2005; Bahrick & Pickens, 1994).”
Perception of the multisensory coherence of fluent audiovisual speech in infancy: its emergence and the role of experience. (2015, background): “Empirical evidence indicates that once infants begin to perceive multisensory coherence they look more at a visual stimulus that corresponds to an auditory stimulus than either at the same visual stimulus presented in silence or at another visual stimulus that does not correspond to the auditory sti”
Infant perception of audio-visual speech synchrony. (2010, background): “Recognition in this case is based on prior experience of the frequent association of the face and the voice (Bahrick et al., 2005; Brookes et al., 2001) and probably also on the ability to remember the dynamic acoustic pattern heard in the absence of the face, the matching of this pattern to the…”
Five-month-old infants' identification of the sources of vocalizations (2009, background): “Young infants show remarkable abilities in linking specific properties in human faces and voices (52, 53), even for aspects of bimodal matching that are unlikely to be learned, such as vowel matching (28, 30).”
