Humans show a striking advantage for synchronizing movements with discretely timed auditory metronomes (e.g., clicking sounds) over temporally matched visual metronomes (e.g., flashing lights), suggesting enhanced auditory-motor coupling for rhythmic processing. Does the auditory advantage persist for other modalities (not just vision)? Here, nonmusicians finger tapped to the beat of auditory, tactile, and bimodal metronomes. Stimulus magnitude and rhythmic complexity were also manipulated. In conditions involving a large area of stimulation and simple rhythmic sequences, tactile synchronization closely matched auditory. Although this finding shows a limitation to the hypothesis of enhanced auditory-motor coupling for rhythmic processing, other findings clearly support it. First, there was a robust advantage with auditory information for synchronization with complex rhythm sequences; moreover, in complex sequences a measure of error correction was found only when auditory information was present. Second, higher order grouping was evident only when auditory information was present.
与时间匹配的视觉节拍器（如闪烁灯光）相比，人类在将动作与离散定时的听觉节拍器（如滴答声）同步方面表现出显著优势，这表明在节奏处理方面听觉-运动耦合得到增强。这种听觉优势在其他模态（不仅仅是视觉）中是否持续存在？在此，非音乐家随着听觉、触觉和双峰节拍器的节拍进行手指敲击。还对刺激强度和节奏复杂性进行了操控。在涉及大面积刺激和简单节奏序列的条件下，触觉同步与听觉同步非常匹配。尽管这一发现显示了节奏处理中听觉-运动耦合增强假说的局限性，但其他发现明确支持这一假说。首先，在与复杂节奏序列同步时，听觉信息具有强大优势；此外，在复杂序列中，仅当存在听觉信息时才发现有误差校正的情况。其次，只有当存在听觉信息时，高阶分组才明显。
