Serious games can easily engage students, captivate and maintain their attention allowing them both learning with an adult, or on their own. But, teaching children with developmental disabilities like ASD, requires special set of tools and methods, due to decreased level of attention towards stimuli presented and lessened capability to learn in ways typical children do. Interactive multisensory...

Statistical learning, the process by which people learn patterns of information from their environment that they can apply to new situations, is central to the development of many higher order cognitive skills. Despite a growing research literature, little is still known about how statistical learning operates across perceptual categories. To investigate this issue we assessed college students ...

In a series of studies we have been investigating how multisensory training affects unisensory perceptual learning with speech stimuli. Previously, we reported that audiovisual (AV) training with speech stimuli can promote auditory-only (AO) perceptual learning in normal-hearing adults but can impede learning in congenitally deaf adults with late-acquired cochlear implants. Here, impeder and pr...

direction of visual stimuli, especially when visual motion direction is ambiguous. Arrighi et al. (2011) focus on the effect of the attentional resources on crossmodal perceptual abilities, and show that vision and audition rely on separate attentional resources. Finally, Chen et al. (2011) provide novel evidence for the effect of the auditory semantic context on visual awareness by using the b...

Introduction: The main problems of children with learning disorder are in cognition and their sensations. The present study aimed to investigate the comparison of active memory and sensory processing styles in boys and girls with writing learning disorder. Methods: The methodology of this descriptive study was the Control-case study type. The statistical population of this study was all girls ...

Multisensory integration is thought to require conscious perception. Although previous studies have shown that an invisible stimulus could be integrated with an audible one, none have demonstrated integration of two subliminal stimuli of different modalities. Here, pairs of identical or different audiovisual target letters (the sound /b/ with the written letter "b" or "m," respectively) were pr...
