“…Functional similarity has been seen in distraction elicited by sudden and unexpected changes in to-be-ignored stimuli has been suggested to be functionally similar between different modalities (e.g., between the tactile and auditory modalities; Ljungberg & Parmentier, 2012). Evidence for this comes from behavioral and electrophysiological studies that have examined deviance distraction in uni-modal settings such as in the auditory-auditory (e.g., Berti, 2008; Berti & Schröger, 2003; Roeber, Berti, & Schröger, 2003) and visual-visual oddball tasks (e.g., Berti, Roeber, & Schröger, 2004; Boll & Berti, 2009) as well as used cross-modal tasks such as the auditory-visual (e.g., Ljungberg & Parmentier, 2012; Ljungberg, Parmentier, Jones, Marsja, & Neely, 2014; Munka & Berti, 2006; Parmentier et al, 2008) and tactile-visual (Ljungberg & Parmentier, 2012; Parmentier, Ljungberg, et al, 2011). However, deviance distraction does not always have to be correlated between modalities, even though the pattern of distraction is functionally similar.…”
