Studies of the McGurk effect have shown that when discrepant phonetic information is delivered to the auditory and visual modalities, the information is combined into a new percept not originally presented to either modality. In typical experiments, the auditory and visual speech signals are generated by the same talker. The present experiment examined whether a discrepancy in the gender of the...

The deuteron intra-bond dynamics of the deuteron glass phase in Rb0 68(N D 4)0 32D 2A s 0 4 has been studied by 2 D exchange NM R which extends the NM R observation window from the kHz region into the milli-Hertz region. The results show that the O D • • • O deuterons are indeed the basic reversible two-position dipoles in the structure and that deuteron intra-bond exchange and thus dipole reve...

We present a time domain analysis and comparison of spatial discretization artifacts in near-field compensated higher order Ambisonics and wave field synthesis. Simulations of both methods on the same circular loudspeaker array are investigated and the results are interpreted in terms of fundamental psycho-acoustical properties of the human auditory system, most notably the precedence effect. I...

this study explores the effect of online annotations via interactive white boards (iwbs) on reading comprehension of iranian efl learners. to this aim, 60 students from a language institute were selected as homogeneous based on their performance on oxford placement test (2014).then, they were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups of 20, and subsequently exposed to the research treatment af...

An information processing investigation was performed to quantify the Chevreul pendulum effect: the tendency of a small pendulum, when suspended from the hand and imaginatively concentrated on, to oscillate seemingly of its own accord. Using a time exposure photographic measurement technique, electronically automated visual and auditory imaginal prompts were presented to the subject during imag...

We investigated whether visual speech fills in non-intact auditory speech (excised consonant onsets) in typically developing children from 4 to 14 years of age. Stimuli with the excised auditory onsets were presented in the audiovisual (AV) and auditory-only (AO) modes. A visual speech fill-in effect occurs when listeners experience hearing the same non-intact auditory stimulus (e.g., /-b/ag) a...
