Original Title:
Η υπόθεση της ενότητας στην περίπτωση των μη λεκτικών ρεαλιστικών ερεθισμάτων
Translated title:
Unity assumption in the case of realistic non-speech stimuli
Summary:
There are many examples of multisensory experiences, but how exactly do we
perceive unified multisensory events? The answer is through multisensory
integration, despite the little understanding regarding the rules that govern
it. The “unity effect” supports that events that “go together” are the ones
that eventually get integrated. In these cases our perceptual system is more
likely to treat the “related” sensory inputs as referring to the same
multisensory event rather than separate unimodal events. The above theory has
been verified with the use of speech and simple non-speech stimuli. The purpose
of this study, therefore, is to investigate whether unity can be obtained for
realistic non-speech stimuli with the presentation of congruent and incongruent
audiovisual couples of stimuli. We believe, according to the “unity effect”,
that we will be able to demonstrate that multisensory integration is taking
place, with the use of realistic non-speech stimuli in the case of the
congruency. If this is the case, the performance will be poorer and the
reaction time of the participants will be shorter in the congruent conditions.
Our hypothesis was verified by the results, which means that unity can be
obtained in the case of realistic non-speech stimuli.
