Intersensory Processing, Developmental Trajectories, and Longitudinal Outcomes
Project Summary Attention is the gateway to all we perceive, learn, and remember, and disorders of attention are a national public health concern. Although we live in a world of overlapping, dynamic, multimodal events, little is known about the development of attention amidst this complexity. Infants must learn to selectively attend to unitary multimodal events (intersensory processing, IP) by detecting synchronous sights and sounds (e.g., face and voice of a speaker), and to flexibly shift and maintain attention in the context of competing stimulation. These basic “multisensory attention skills” (MASks) provide a cornerstone for language, socio-emotional (SE), and cognitive development.…
