{ "pk": 49754, "title": "Semantic Congruency Across Development", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Multisensory processing often results in facilitation and/or interference effects, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. The two reported experiments used a Stroop-like task to examine how congruent, incongruent, and irrelevant information presented in one sensory modality (e.g., visual) affects processing and responding in a different modality (e.g., auditory). Across two experiments, adults (E1) and 5-year-olds (E2) were presented with pictures and sounds, and they had to determine if what they saw or heard was an animal or vehicle. Experiment 1 with adults showed evidence of both facilitation on congruent trials and interference on incongruent trials, with unattended visual stimuli having a larger effect on auditory processing than vice versa. Results in 5-year-olds were slightly more symmetrical than adults but there was no evidence that auditory input dominated visual processing. Possible mechanisms underlying these effects are discussed.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Psychology; Cognitive development; Sensory Processing; Developmental analysis" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9kv216jv", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Susan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Geffen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Occidental College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Taylor", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Beck", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Occidental College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Ainsley", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Shelsta", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Occidental College", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Chris", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Robinson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "The Ohio State University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-01T15:00:00-03:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49754/galley/37716/download/" } ] }
