Mcgurk effect persists with a partially removed visual signal

چکیده
This study investigated the impact of prolonged consonant durations on the McGurk effect and the role of static visual information in this cross-modal illusion. It was found that the McGurk effect did not break down nor diminish in strength when the consonant duration was extended up to 3.8s. This remained unchanged when the video frames in the quasi-static phase of the prolonged target consonant were substituted with copies of a single frame. Surprisingly, the McGurk effect even persisted when the visual signal in the quasi-static phase was completely removed.

The Mcgurk effect at various auditory signal-to-noise ratios in american and Finnish listeners
In the McGurk effect, incongruent visual information alters the auditory speech percept. We studied the strength of this effect as a function of auditory signal-to-noise ratio (SNR: -12, -6, 0, +6 dB, and noise-free) in Finnish adults, American adults and American children (8–12 years). The McGurk stimuli were A/p/V/k/ (auditory /apa/ presented with visual /aka/), A/p/V/t/, A/k/V/p/ and A/t/V/p...
متن کاملWhen Hearing Lips and Seeing Voices Becomes Perceiving Speech: Auditory-Visual Integration in Lexical Access
In the McGurk Effect, a visual stimulus can affect the perception of an auditory signal, suggesting integration of the auditory and visual streams. However, it is unclear when in speech processing this auditory-visual integration occurs. The present study used a semantic priming paradigm to investigate whether integration occurs before, during, or after access of the lexical-semantic network. S...
متن کاملWhat is the McGurk effect?
McGurk and MacDonald (1976) reported a powerful multisensory illusion occurring with audiovisual speech. They recorded a voice articulating a consonant and dubbed it with a face articulating another consonant. Even though the acoustic speech signal was well recognized alone, it was heard as another consonant after dubbing with incongruent visual speech. The illusion has been termed the McGurk e...
متن کاملAcoustic and visual phonetic features in the mcgurk effect - an audiovisual speech illusion
Information from the acoustic speech signal and the talking face is integrated into a unified percept. This is demonstrated in the McGurk effect, in which discrepant visual articulation changes the auditory perception of a consonant. We studied acoustic (A) and visual (V) phonetic features that contribute to audiovisual speech perception by measuring the McGurk effect in two vowel contexts, [a]...
متن کاملAudiovisual sentence recognition not predicted by susceptibility to the McGurk effect.
In noisy situations, visual information plays a critical role in the success of speech communication: listeners are better able to understand speech when they can see the speaker. Visual influence on auditory speech perception is also observed in the McGurk effect, in which discrepant visual information alters listeners' auditory perception of a spoken syllable. When hearing /ba/ while seeing a...
