Sentence examples for unity effect from inspiring English sources

Vatakis and her colleagues [24] [26] have conducted a number of studies on the integration of asynchronous but ecologically-valid audiovisual stimuli and consistently found that the "unity effect" is restricted to speech stimuli, thus concluding that speech is "special" inasmuch as the facilitatory effect on multisensory integration leading to the unity effect is specific to speech.

Interestingly, subsequent studies have shown that the phenomenon disappears when participants are presented with realistic non-speech stimuli, thus suggesting that the "unity effect" might be specific to speech [24], [26].

When both modalities provide congruent information, more pronounced multisensory integration takes place, leading to a "unity effect", which is evidenced behaviorally by an increase of the discrimination thresholds for audiovisual temporal asynchronies [24], [25].

Moreover, such a result would constitute the first empirical demonstration that the "unity effect" is not a prerogative of speech stimuli and that it can also occur in the spatial domain.

Our results, therefore, not only extend the class of stimuli that are known to lead to a unity effect, but also suggest the hypothesis that synesthetic associations might also be "special" (or rather that audiovisual speech stimuli may not be so special, or unique, after all).

Although the PSE data (denoting the point of maximum uncertainty in participants' judgments) do not provide relevant information regarding the strength of coupling (e.g., see [19], [30]) nor the "unity effect" (e.g., see [24] [26]), statistical outcomes on the effect of synesthetic associations on the PSE are reported for completeness: Z = −0.549, p = .583.583

As Fig. 3, it can be seen that for the upper branch of the group I orbits, λ is below unity (diamagnetic effect) while for the group II orbits, λ is above unity (paramagnetic effect).

Gradually, the idea of ensemble arose, stressing harmony of ideal and craft among what was usually a small group of actors in order to achieve a unity of effect.

Later Stanislavsky came to the opinion that the Meiningen approach was successful in creating an external unity of effect but deficient in transforming the internal techniques of the actors.

The results also emphasize that as the ratio of the Kolmogorov length scale over droplet initial diameter approaches unity, the effect of turbulence becomes negligible, illustrating the importance of the small-scale eddies, and their relation to droplet size, in the transport/transfer of mass.

Although the activity coefficients involved differ significantly from unity, the effects of the individual activity coefficients are mutually compensated.
