AbstractIn the well-known visual bias of auditory location (alias the ventriloquist effect), auditory and visual events presented in separate locations appear closer together, provided the presentations are synchronized. Here, we consider the possibility of the converse phenomenon: crossmodal attraction on the time dimension conditional on spatial proximity. Participants judged the order of occurrence of sound bursts and light flashes, respectively, separated in time by varying stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) and delivered either in the same or in different locations. Presentation was organized using randomly mixed psychophysical staircases, by which the SOA was reduced progressively until a point of uncertainty was reached. This point was reached at longer SOAs with the sounds in the same frontal location as the flashes than in different places, showing that apparent temporal separation is effectively longer in the first condition. Together with a similar one obtained recently in a case of tactile-visual discrepancy, this result supports a view in which timing and spatial layout of the inputs play to some extent inter-changeable roles in the pairing operation at the base of crossmodal interaction.
