Spatial and temporal factors in visual-auditory interaction

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The present work investigates latencies and trajectories of saccades toward visual and auditory targets in various experiments. The Two-Stage Model of visual-auditory interaction introduced by Colonius & Arndt (2001) was applied to the data. This prohabilistic approach describes at the first stage the peripheral processing of visual and auditory stimuli as a race. The amount of spatial facilitation at the second stage of combined processing is determined by the outcome of the first stage race. The original Two-Stage Model was extended to two spatial dimensions and fitted to the data of the reaction time experiment. The data fits yielded reasonable estimates for peripheral and central processing times, if compared to data from single cell recordings.
