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).”
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…”
Audio-visual simultaneity judgments (2005, methodology): “This argument could be extended to the simultaneity task studied here if one accepts that people are more likely to make an assumption of unity, and so to judge pairs of stimuli as being simultaneous, when they come from the same spatial location rather than from different spatial locations (see En”
