Hearing Where the Eyes See: Children Use an Irrelevant Visual Cue When Localizing Sounds

Abstract: To reduce sensory uncertainty, humans combine cues from multiple senses. However, in everyday life, many co‐occurring cues are irrelevant to the task at hand. How do humans know which cues to ignore? And does this ability change with development? This study shows the ability to ignore cross‐modal irrelevant information develops late in childhood. Participants performed a sound discrimination task, with or without an irrelevant visual flash, presented synchronously in front of them. Adults ignored the irrelevan… Show more

“…We could speculate that, if IVR causes some sort of conflict between vision and proprioception, adults' lack of multisensory integration in these environments could be due to their reliance on proprioception and ability to ignore visual cues. Since this ability to ignore irrelevant visual cues seems not to be mature in children [30], they could benefit from IVR motor training because they would still be using vision to calibrate their less accurate proprioception. It is only recently that the field of IVR research is beginning to focus on the developing child to study developmental differences in relation to their interaction with IVR [31].…”

“…As discussed above, 18-month-old toddlers arguably combine categorical and metric information (Huttenlocher et al, 1994); four-year-olds clearly do so, as well as making sensible choices among conflicting allocentric cue systems (Waismeyer and Jacobs, 2013) auditory information for spatial localization (Nardini et al, 2016). However, refinement in coordination of categorical and metric information continues over the first decade (Sandberg et al, 1996), along with increases in speed, efficiency and selectivity of auditoryvisual integration (Nardini et al, 2016;Petrini et al, 2015). Some patterns may be due to the variability related to physical growth.…”

“…Given these ongoing developments, it is perhaps unsurprising that children do not combine inertial navigation and allocentric information until around 8 to 10 years of age (Nardini et al, 2008). In addition, even then, children may behave differently than adults, for example, by combining cues when adults regard them as competitive and hence choose between them (Petrini et al, 2016), or ignoring irrelevant cues (Petrini et al, 2015).…”

“…they will rely more on visual input than other modalities [40]. Petrini et al show that children will even use irrelevant visual cues to help localise sound, showing that learning to ignore these cues can be difficult [41]. This well-known dominance of visual cues over other types [40] means that we effectively create a perceptual closure on the arm movement without altering the proprioceptive cues an individual receives (because the fundamental movement is unaltered, merely the cues to its extent).…”
