The impact of semantically congruent and incongruent visual information on auditory object recognition across development (2017)
Journal Article
Thomas, R., Nardini, M., & Mareschal, D. (2017). The impact of semantically congruent and incongruent visual information on auditory object recognition across development. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 162, 72-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2017.04.020The ability to use different sensory signals in conjunction confers numerous advantages on perception. Multisensory perception in adults is influenced by factors beyond low-level stimulus properties such as semantic congruency. Sensitivity to semanti...

Development of allocentric spatial recall from new viewpoints in virtual reality (2017)
Journal Article
Negen, J., Heywood-Everett, E., Roome, H., & Nardini, M. (2018). Development of allocentric spatial recall from new viewpoints in virtual reality. Developmental Science, 21(1), Article e12496. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12496Using landmarks and other scene features to recall locations from new viewpoints is a critical skill in spatial cognition. In an immersive virtual reality task, we asked children 3.5–4.5 years old to remember the location of a target using various cu...

Multisensory cue combination after sensory loss: audio-visual localization in patients with progressive retinal disease (2017)
Journal Article
Garcia, S., Jones, P., Reeve, E., Michaelides, M., Rubin, G., & Nardini, M. (2017). Multisensory cue combination after sensory loss: audio-visual localization in patients with progressive retinal disease. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 43(4), 729-740. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000344Human adults can combine perceptual estimates from different senses to minimize uncertainty, by taking a reliability-weighted average (the maximum likelihood estimate, MLE). Although research has shown that healthy human adults reweight estimates as...

Auditory Localisation Biases Increase with Sensory Uncertainty (2017)
Journal Article
Garcia, S., Jones, P., Rubin, G., & Nardini, M. (2017). Auditory Localisation Biases Increase with Sensory Uncertainty. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 40567. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep40567Psychophysical studies have frequently found that adults with normal hearing exhibit systematic errors (biases) in their auditory localisation judgments. Here we tested (i) whether systematic localisation errors could reflect reliance on prior knowle... Read More about Auditory Localisation Biases Increase with Sensory Uncertainty.
