Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “…case being a person playing a note on a piano vs. on a guitar), object actions (someone smashing a block of ice or FIGURE 6 | An example of stimuli and results of Vatakis and colleagues’ experiments of the unity effect on temporal perception (Vatakis and Spence, 2007, 2008; Vatakis et al., 2008).”
Audiovisual synchrony and temporal order judgments: Effects of experimental method and stimulus type (2008, methodology): “Vatakis and Spence (2007) , for example, used a TOJ task when evaluating the “unity AUDIO–VISUAL TIMING JUDGMENTS 965”
When knowing can replace seeing in audiovisual integration of actions. (2009, unknown): “However, when part of the salient information is missing one would need to use higher level factors (Vatakis & Spence, 2007) such as previous knowledge about that action.”
Cross-correlation between auditory and visual signals promotes multisensory integration. (2013, background): “Previous research has demonstrated that spatiotemporal cues and prior knowledge are exploited by the human brain in order to solve the correspondence problem (Bresciani et al., 2005; Gepshtein et al., 2005; Körding et al., 2007; Parise and Spence, 2009; Vatakis and Spence, 2007).”
No effect of synesthetic congruency on temporal ventriloquism (2010, background): “Evidence in support of a role for semantic congruency in temporal perception has come mainly from a study by Vatakis and Spence (2007) .”
Audiovisual multisensory integration (2007, methodology): “multisensory integration that is seemingly free from any such concerns about possible variations in the richness of the stimuli used [1].”
‘When Birds of a Feather Flock Together’: Synesthetic Correspondences Modulate Audiovisual Integration in Non-Synesthetes (2009, background): “When both modalities provide congruent information, more pronounced multisensory integration takes place, leading to a ‘‘unity effect’’, which is evidenced behaviorally by an increase of the discrimination thresholds for audiovisual temporal asynchronies [24,25].”
Facilitation of multisensory integration by the "unity effect" reveals that speech is special. (2008, methodology): “…than nonspeech signals, we compared the data obtained from Experiment 2 with those of a similar experiment conducted using videos of humans in our previous study (see Experiment 3 in Vatakis & Spence, 2007, where we presented the same human individual uttering two different speech tokens).”
Multisensory Interplay Reveals Crossmodal Influences on ‘Sensory-Specific’ Brain Regions, Neural Responses, and Judgments (2008, unknown): “For recent examples regarding spatial constraints , see Frassinetti et al. (2002), for temporal constraints, see Fendrich and Corballis (2001) and Recanzone (2003), for combined spatiotemporal constraints, see Zampini et al. (2003); see also Vatakis and Spence (2007) for further discussion.”
When vision ‘extinguishes’ touch in neurologically-normal people: extending the Colavita visual dominance effect (2008, background): “According to research on the ‘unity assumption’ (e.g., Spence 2007; Vatakis and Spence 2007; Welch 1999; Welch and Warren 1980), stimuli are increasingly likely to be perceived as reXecting a single, unitary event, the more amodal properties (i.e., those that can be deWned without reference to a…”
When correlation implies causation in multisensory integration. (2012, unknown): “Previous research has demonstrated that spatiotemporal cues, alongwith prior knowledge, are exploited by the human brain to solve this problem [4–9].”
Perception of intersensory synchrony in audiovisual speech: not that special. (2011, background): “Vatakis and Spence (2007, 2008a) reported several experiments in which they demonstrated that the ‘‘unity assumption” modulates performance in an audiovisual TOJ task.”
Correlation versus causation in multisensory perception (2010, unknown): “Nevertheless, Vatakis and Spence (2007, 2008) found some evidence against such a claim: They showed to participants various audiovisual events (e.g., spoken syllables, piano tones, ice being crushed) and varied their audiovisual asynchrony.”
Semantic congruency and the Colavita visual dominance effect (2008, methodology): “so that there was a time-varying correspondence between the auditory and visual stimuli) were used (cf. Vatakis and Spence, 2007a ).”
