“…However, the effect of auditory information on visual RM has not been reported, although there is a study showing the effect of linear frequency changes of sounds on visual representational gravity (Hubbard & Courtney, 2010). In the present experiments, the effects of auditory information on the visual RM are clearly revealed.…”

In representational momentum (RM), the final position of a moving target is mislocalized in the direction of motion. Here, the effect of a concurrent sound on visual RM was demonstrated. A visual stimulus moved horizontally and disappeared at unpredictable positions. A complex tone without any motion cues was presented continuously from the beginning of the visual motion. As compared with a silent condition, the RM magnitude increased when the sound lasted longer than and decreased when it did not last as long as the visual motion. However, the RM was unchanged when a brief complex tone was presented before or after the target disappeared (Experiment 2) or when the onset of the long-lasting sound was not synchronized with that of the visual motion (Experiments 3 and 4). These findings suggest that visual motion representation can be modulated by a sound if the visual motion information is firmly associated with the auditory information.

“…Three 250-ms vibrations, separated by 250-ms empty intervals, were presented on each trial. These are the same timing parameters as documented in visual and auditory representational momentum experiments (e.g., Freyd & Finke, 1984;Hubbard & Courtney, 2010). With those timing parameters, three distinct vibrotactile stimuli were perceived.…”

We report two experiments designed to investigate how the implied motion of tactile stimuli influences perceived location. Predicting the location of sensory input is especially important as far as the perception of, and interaction with, the external world is concerned. Using two different experimental approaches, an overall pattern of localization shifts analogous to what has been described previously in the visual and auditory modalities is reported. That is, participants perceive the last location of a dynamic stimulus further along its trajectory than is objectively the case. In Experiment 1, participants judged whether the last vibration in a sequence of three was located closer to the wrist or to the elbow. In Experiment 2, they indicated the last location on a ruler attached to their forearm. We further pinpoint the effects of implied motion on tactile localization by investigating the independent influences of motion direction and perceptual uncertainty. Taken together, these findings underline the importance of dynamic information in localizing tactile stimuli on the skin.

“…The representation of auditory information might contain information regarding the object that produced the sound or how that sound was produced (God0y, 2001), and this might include information regarding any physical principles that might influence the source or production of that sound. Consistent with this, memory for the final location of a horizontally moving visual target exhibited larger downward displacement if accompanied by an auditory pitch that descended in frequency than if accompanied by an auditory pitch that ascended in frequency (Hubbard & Courtney, 2010). Just as auditory information influenced displacement of a visual target, perhaps top-down information regarding a source object or sound production might influence displacement of an auditory target.…”

A Fröhlich effect and representational gravity in memory for auditory pitch.

Memory for the initial pitch of an auditory target that increased or decreased in auditory frequency was examined. Memory was displaced forward in the direction of pitch motion, and this is consistent with the Fröhlich effect previously observed for visual targets moving in visual physical space. The Fröhlich effect for pitch increased with faster target velocity and decreased if an auditory cue with the same pitch as the initial pitch of the target was presented before the target was presented. The Fröhlich effect was larger for descending pitch motion than for ascending pitch motion, and this is consistent with an influence of representational gravity. The data suggest that representation of auditory frequency space exhibits some of the same biases as representation of visual physical space, and implications for theories of attention in displacement and for crossmodal and multisensory representation of space are discussed.
