The multisensory approach to development
Abstract
Philosophers and psychologists alike have debated for centuries how humans and other species deal with the multiple sources of sensory information that specify the world around them. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in our understanding of multisensory processes in mature adults, which have led to the conclusion that multisensory processes are ubiquitous in mature psychological functioning. However, developmental research has also shown that multisensory integration takes time to develop and that early experience plays a key role in its development. This chapter describes how the development of multisensory functioning can both constrain and enrich perceptual and cognitive functioning through the lifespan. This chapter also reflects on the history of the field, and draws out some key themes of recent research in multisensory development.

“These findings are consistent with a role for REMs in hierarchical multisensory integration that may be evident before birth (Hobson, 2009) and through the life span (Bremner et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
