“…This effect is so robust that the same results are obtained even when the subjective intensity of the auditory stimulus is made twice that of the visual stimulus and when subjects are actually instructed to respond to the auditory stimulus during the bisensory trials. Similar dominance has been demonstrated in normal and retarded children (Hermelin & O’Connor, 1964; O’Connor & Hermelin, 1965). In localization studies, there is the well-known “ventriloquism effect,” where subjects tend to perceive an auditory stimulus as emanating from the visual stimulus despite the fact that two stimuli are spatially displaced with respect to one another (Hay, Pick, & Ikeda, 1965; Jack & Thurlow, 1973; Radeau & Bertelson, 1977).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Although no other systematic studies of sensory dominance in infants have been conducted to date, there is a sizable literature on sensory dominance in children and adults. This literature is consistent in showing that the visual modality dominates the auditory modality across a variety of tasks in both adults (Colavita, 1974;Colavita & Weisberg, 1979;Egeth & Sager, 1977) and children (Hermelin & O'Connor, 1964;O'Connor & Hermelin, 1965). The finding of auditory dominance at 6 months and the finding of visual dominance in children and adults suggests that a shift in sensory dominance must occur somewhere in development.…”

“…Our findings reveal a specific disruption in audio-visual integration among children with ASD, manifesting in visual dominance and temporal disorganization in auditory and visual processing. This disruption sharply contrasts with the expected auditory processing dominance (95) and might significantly contribute to the language development anomalies encountered by these children. In typical development, the precedence of orofacial visual cues during speech facilitates auditory comprehension through predictive processing, optimizing the brain’s synchronization to incoming speech signals (96).…”
