The aim of this paper is to examine how recent research findings and methodologies from the field of cognitive science could be utilised to inform the design and evaluation of cross-modal mappings for multimodal user interaction. In this paper we argue that by using empirical methods to enact embodied knowledge about cross-modal correspondences, we can form an adequate empirical framework for the design of multimodal mappings that successfully align with prior perceptual knowledge. This alignment can significantly improve the human computer dialogue and the analytical, creative and pedagogical value of user interfaces.Display and interaction design. Mappings.

This paper draws on literature from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy to portray a cross-modal conception of auditory and visual phenomena focusing on the similarities in form, structure, and function and exploring the links to perception, conception, and language. Through an extensive literature review, we identify issues related to audiovisual association and explore divergences and convergences between the two modalities. The aim of this paper is to examine how recent research findings from brain science could inform the theoretical and methodological approaches used for studying similarity of auditory and visual percepts in the context of designing multimodal interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
