Austin has never met one of his work colleagues, having only interacted online or
on the phone. He's still able to pick out his coworker at a conference in a room
full of people because of
the crossmodal relationship between auditory speech and visual information.
How did the perceived hole size affect the putting performance of participants?
participants putted better when they perceived the hole as larger.
If you are in a crowded room at a noisy party having a conversation with an
interesting new acquaintance, studies show that if you are looking at him while
talking,
you are more likely to hear what he is saying.
If your eyes see someone saying "ball" but the word you hear is "doll", the
struggle to make sense of that information in your brain is consistent with
the McGurk effect
Illusions are valuable to psychologists because they are used to
explore what people experience and what parts of the brain are involved in perception.
Jessica Witt's study tested
how the perception of the size of a golf hole affects golfing performance.
Multi-modal perception is the idea that
various sensory modalities are integrated.
Sierra turns off her car right before the last line of chorus of a popular song.
Moments later while inside the store, she finds herself singing the last line. This
exemplifies the gestalt principle of
closure
The idea that we perceive the world while utilizing a combination of senses is
known as
multi-modal perception
