Audio-visual integration was studied in children aged 8-17 (N = 30) and adults (N = 22) using the 'flash-beep illusion' paradigm, where the presentation of two beeps causes a single flash to be perceived as two flashes (fission illusion), and a single beep causes two flashes to be perceived as one flash (fusion illusion). Children reported significantly more fission illusions than adults, indicating that auditory and visual information was integrated more often, and less selectively, than in adults. Within either group, illusion reports did not correlate with either age or motor coordination measures. The current results show that the form of multisensory integration indexed by the illusion is slow to mature in normally developing children.
采用“闪光-蜂鸣错觉”范式研究了 8-17 岁儿童（N=30）和成人（N=22）的视听整合。在该范式中，呈现两个蜂鸣会导致单个闪光被感知为两个闪光（裂变错觉），而单个蜂鸣会导致两个闪光被感知为一个闪光（融合错觉）。儿童报告的裂变错觉明显多于成人，表明听觉和视觉信息的整合比成人更频繁，选择性更低。在任何一个群体中，错觉报告都与年龄或运动协调测量无关。目前的结果表明，正常发育的儿童的这种多感觉整合形式成熟较慢。
