Broadbent, Hannah J.; White, Hayley; Mareschal, Denis; Kirkham, Natasha Z. – Developmental Science, 2018
Multisensory information has been shown to modulate attention in infants and facilitate learning in adults, by enhancing the amodal properties of a stimulus. However, it remains unclear whether this translates to learning in a multisensory environment across middle childhood, and particularly in the case of incidental learning. One hundred and…

However, the development of multisensory facilitation of endogenously driven motor processes and its relationship to the development of complex cognitive skills…

Massaro, Dominic W.; Bosseler, Alexis – Autism: The International Journal of Research & Practice, 2006
A computer-animated tutor, Baldi, has been successful in teaching vocabulary and grammar to children with autism and those with hearing problems. The present study assessed to what extent the face facilitated this learning process relative to the voice alone. Baldi was implemented in a Language Wizard/Tutor, which allows easy creation and…

Eilers, Rebecca E.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
Thirty children with profound hearing impairments were followed over a three-year period with a semiannual battery of speech perception tests. Testing utilized multichannel tactile vocoders in variations of tactile and/or auditory/visual conditions. Performance in the tactile plus auditory condition generally exceeded that in other conditions,…
