This book provides the latest information about the development of
intersensory perception -- a topic which has recently begun to
receive a great deal of attention from researchers studying the
general problem of perceptual development. This interest was
inspired after the realization that unimodal perception of sensory
information is only the first stage of perceptual processing. Under
normal conditions, an organism is faced with multiple, multisensory
sources of information and its task is to either select a single
relevant source of information or select several sources of
information and integrate them. In general, perception and action
on the basis of multiple sources of information is more efficient
and effective. Before greater efficiency and effectiveness can be
achieved, however, the organism must be able to integrate the
multiple sources of information. By doing so, the organism can then
achieve a coherent and unified percept of the world. The various
chapters in this book examine the developmental origins of
intersensory perceptual capacities by presenting the latest
research on the development of intersensory perceptual skills in a
variety of different species. By adopting a comparative approach to
this problem, this volume as a whole helps uncover similarities as
well as differences in the mechanisms underlying the development of
intersensory integration. In addition, it shows that there is no
longer any doubt that intersensory interactions occur right from
the beginning of the developmental process, that the nature of
these intersensory interactions changes as development progresses,
and that early experience contributes in important ways to these
changes.
