In Experiment 1, infants received videotaped trials of an adult and a child of the same gender, side by side, speaking a nursery rhyme in synchrony with one another. The voice to one and then the other face was played in synchrony with the movements of both faces in a random order across 12 trials. On one block of 6 trials a man and a boy were presented, and on the other block a woman and a girl. Results indicated significant matching of the faces and voices at both ages, and the infant's prior experience with children appeared to facilitate matching at 7 months. Further, a visual preference for the children's faces was found. Experiment 2 assessed matching to the same events by 7-month-olds, only with the faces inverted. Results indicated no evidence of matching; however, the visual preference for the children's faces was replicated. Together, the findings suggest that infants are able to detect invariant intermodal relations specifying the age or maturity of a person's face and voice. This matching was most likely based on information that was degraded by inverting the faces, including invariant relations between the sound of the voice and configurational aspects of the face, or between temporal aspects of the voice and the relative motion of facial features.

What is the intermodal perception?Intermodal perception (also called intersensory or multimodal perception) is the perception of unitary objects or events that make information simultaneously available to more than one sense.
Which is an example of intermodal perception?Intermodal perception occurs when a stimulus is simultaneously perceived by multiple senses. For example, while eating, apart from tasting the food through a gustatory sense, a person can see themselves eating in a mirror. They are able to detect how their food smells.
Which of the following is true of intermodal perception?Which of the following is true of intermodal perception? People's experience of the world as a smooth, unitary episode is made possible by intermodal perception. Which of the following is generally accepted to be the most critical factor in predicting whether an infant will develop sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)?
What is intermodal perception quizlet?What is intermodal perception? combining information from multiple senses; being able to learn one sense and then transfer that info to another sense.
