Sentence examples for congruent sounds from inspiring English sources

According to the authors, congruent sounds were better able to pull the lights apart than were incongruent sounds.

Interestingly, Murray et al. (2004) reported effects for repeatedly presented visual objects which had been paired previously with semantically congruent sounds.

AV integration in auditory and visual regions has been found mainly for familiar and congruent sounds and images, for example a dog picture and a barking sound (Belardinelli et al. 2004; Hein et al. 2007).

One set of regions comprises higher-order auditory or visual regions, which are known to be involved in the integration of congruent sounds and images (Belardinelli et al. 2004; Hein et al. 2007).

From that perspective, though, it remains to be explained why congruent sounds did not improve JNDs at 150-ms AV intervals, when compared with the 0-ms condition or even silence, so it leaves one wondering what the congruency effect at the 150-ms AV interval was based on, if sounds were not of any help.

The fact that congruent sound symbolic size information was remembered better than other aspects of the definition when the definitions were recombined might be interpreted as evidence that size information serves as a way of categorizing the items.

Thus, the congruent sound may facilitate visual learning through direct connections to visual areas, indirectly through multisensory areas, or through some combination of both.

The fact that incongruent sound did not benefit performance on audiovisual trials, whereas congruent sound did, supports the conclusion that the auditory stimuli are not affecting performance at a decisional or cognitive level, but rather at a perceptual level.

If the facilitatory effects are merely due to extra attention/arousal or information, then an incongruent motion stimulus should provide the same level of facilitation as do congruent motion stimuli, as it contains equal stimulus energy and provides the same task-information as the congruent sound.

It may thus be possible that, in accordance with recent studies documenting on changes in the phenomenological experience of biological motion stimuli when a congruent sound is available [23], [26] [28], here, in the looming and receding conditions, audiovisual integration led to phenomenological different perceptual experiences than in the stationary and the no-sound condition.

The results showed that when the onset of the picture and sound occurred simultaneously, a semantically-congruent sound improved, whereas a semantically-incongruent sound impaired, participants' picture identification performance, as compared to performance in the white-noise control condition.
