Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “Seeing as well as hearing speech is known to increase its salience and comprehension (Rosenblum, Johnson, & Saldana, 1996; Sumby & Pollack, 1954; Summerfield, 1979).”
Point-light facial displays enhance comprehension of speech in noise. (1996, methodology): “In adopting this presentation technique together with the use of more strategically placed points, the current study extends the work of Summerfield (1979) in determining whether point-light images can enhance speech in noise.”
The development of intersensory temporal perception: an epigenetic systems/limitations view. (2000, background): “These values are in general agreement with previous findings from studies with adult participants (Dixon & Spitz, 1980; Summerfield, 1979).”
Intersensory Perception at Birth: Newborns Match Nonhuman Primate Faces and Voices. (2010, unknown): “…redundant information that increases stimulus salience and enhances detection, discrimination, and learning (Bahrick, Lickliter, & Flom, 2004; Ernst & Bülthoff, 2004; Lewkowicz & Kraebel, 2004; Partan & Marler, 1999; Rowe, 1999; Stein & Meredith, 1993; Sumby & Pollack, 1954; Summerfield, 1979).”
The Audio-Visual Temporal Binding Window Narrows In Early Childhood (2013, background): “In addition, studies have found that audiovisual redundancy enhances speech comprehension in adults (Sumby & Pollack, 1954; Summerfield, 1979) and that it affects discriminative responsiveness and learning in infants (Bahrick & Lickliter, 2000; Lewkowicz, 1985, 1986, 1992).”
Acquisition of second-language speech: Effects of visual cues, context, and talker variability (2003, background): “, Erber, 1974), listeners make use of visual information from a talker’s face on a daily basis, especially when attempting to compensate for noise (e.g., Sumby & Pollack, 1954; Summerfield, 1979) or impaired hearing ability (e.”
Infants' perception of expressive behaviors: differentiation of multimodal information. (1997, unknown): “…Grant, Ardell, Kuhl, & Sparks, 1985; Green & Kuhl, 1991; Green, Kuhl, Meltzoff, & Stevens, 1991; Massaro, 1987, 1994; McGurk & MacDonald, 1976; Summerfield, 1979, 1987) and touch (Grant, Ardell, Kuhl, & Sparks, 1986; Sparks, Ardell, Bourgeois, Wiedmer, & Kuhl, 1979) both play a role in what a…”
The Role of Audiovisual Speech and Orthographic Information in Nonnative Speech Production (2005, unknown): “First, auditory-visual speech perception would appear to be a natural, ecologically valid process including some degree of redundancy given the common articulatory source of auditory and visual speech information (Summerfield, 1979).”
Infant perception of audio-visual speech synchrony. (2010, background): “Studies comparing comprehension of auditory-only speech versus audiovisual speech have shown that comprehension of the latter is significantly better (Sumby & Pollack, 1954; Sum- merfield, 1979).”
The processing of audio-visual speech: empirical and neural bases (2008, background): “Summerfield (1979) showed that speech-reading relied mainly on mouth shape, mouth opening and the visible position of the tongue (and sometimes teeth).”
