“…Such intersensory facilitation effects are quite robust, and they have been replicated in many different settings. For example, intersensory facilitation has been reported in tasks such as Todd's, in which participants must respond to stimuli from any modality (e.g., Diederich & Colonius, 2004;Gondan, Niederhaus, Rösler, & Röder, 2005;Hershenson, 1962;Miller, 1991). Intersensory facilitation has also been reported when instructionally irrelevant accessory stimuli on one modality (i.e., stimuli to which participants need not respond) are presented simultaneously with relevant target stimuli on another modality, especially when the irrelevant accessories are auditory stimuli (Bernstein, 1970;Doyle & Snowden, 2001).…”
