“…Because it was shown that acoustic and tactile input summate (Li & Yeomans, 1999; Schmid et al, 2003) and because tactile airpuff stimuli have been shown to have a relevant acoustic component (Flaten & Blumenthal, 1998; Ison & Russo, 1990; Taylor, Casto, & Printz, 1991; Woodworth & Johnson, 1988), we carefully controlled acoustic and other influences on TSR habituation. In our study, Experiment 3 is the main experiment exploring generalization of habituation across stimulus modalities, whereas the other experiments (1, 2, and 4) were done to guarantee that the results of Experiment 3 can be generalized.…”
