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

Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “…experience might contribute to multisensory development, it is crucial to recognize first that both in birds and mammals, all sensory modalities, except vision, begin functioning prior to birth and that their onset is sequential vis-à-vis one another (Bradley & Mistretta, 1975; Gottlieb, 1971).”
A Fetus and Infant Developmental Scenario: Self-organization of Goal-directed Behaviors Based on Sensory Constraints (2010, unknown): “By 13.5-14 weeks gestational age, reflex responses to tactile stimulation have been observed in almost 1Neural oscillator was described as CPG (Central Pattern Generator) in the original article. all parts of the body (Bradley and Mistretta, 1975).”
The Integrated Development of Sensory Organization (2011, background): “Rather, the sensory systems become functional in a specific and invariant sequence across early development: tactile > vestibular > chemical > auditory > visual [46,71,72].”
The development of infant intersensory perception: advantages of a comparative convergent-operations approach. (2000, background): “Rather, the sensory systems become functional in an invariant and relatively universal sequence: tactile --* vestibular ~ chemical ~ auditory ~ visual (Alberts, 1984; Bradley & Mistretta, 1975; Gottlieb, 1971).”
