Audiovisual links in endogenous covert spatial attention.

摘要: In 7 experiments we investigated cross-modal links for endogenous covert spatial orienting in hearing and vision. Participants judged the elevation (up vs. down) of auditory or visual targets regardless their laterality modality. When participants were informed that more likely on 1 side, judgments faster even if modality target was uncertain. expected a particular side just modality, corresponding shifts attention also took place other as evidenced by side. However, it possible to "split" when 2 modalities constant but opposite sides throughout block, although effects larger same both modalities. These results show does not operate exclusively within supramodal system, there are strong between attention.
