Educational attainment is widely assumed to be positively correlated with civic participation in the United States. Yet Asian immigrants represent a paradox because they often report low rates of despite having relatively high educational attainment. This study investigates how place mediates among six immigrant groups We use concept simultaneity examine extent which foreign and domestic enviro...

This article analyses the connections between worlds of fine art and fashion through complex interconnections Parisian-Eastern European creative exile. It follows common threads Ukrainian-Jewish artist designer Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) prominent inter-war Parisian Romanians: namely, Tristan Tzara, Constantin Brâncuși Lizica Codreanu. I suggest concept ‘simultaneous migrations’ to illustrate f...

Visual motion information from dynamic environments is important in multisensory temporal perception. However, it is unclear how visual motion information influences the integration of multisensory temporal perceptions. We investigated whether visual apparent motion affects audiovisual temporal perception. Visual apparent motion is a phenomenon in which two flashes presented in sequence in diff...

To form a coherent representation of the objects around us, the brain must group the different sensory features composing these objects. Here, we investigated whether actions contribute in this grouping process. In particular, we assessed whether action-outcome learning and prediction contribute to audiovisual temporal binding. Participants were presented with two audiovisual pairs: one pair wa...

The most popular tasks with which to investigate the perception of subjective synchrony are the temporal order judgment (TOJ) and the simultaneity judgment (SJ). Here, we discuss a complementary approach-a dual-presentation (2x) SJ task-and focus on appropriate analysis methods for a theoretically desirable "roving" design. Two stimulus pairs are presented on each trial and the observer must se...

Based on two previous papers, the physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity as is presented in Einstein's Special Relativity paper of 1905 is reconsidered. We follow Einstein's argumentation to introduce a criterium of synchronization and for the same arguments we arrive at a different criterium for synchronization. From that we conclude that simultaneity is absolute. Introduction On...

In unisensory contexts, spatially-focused attention tends to enhance perceptual processing. How attention influences the processing of multisensory stimuli, however, has been of much debate. In some cases, attention has been shown to be important for processes related to the integration of audio-visual stimuli, but in other cases such processes have been reported to occur independently of atten...
