Multi-sensory neural pathways of auditory-visual maturation develop before birth in humans. Maturation levels of multi-sensory brain pathways are very different in children in comparison to adults. Auditory sensory neural maturation occurs earlier than visual sensory neural maturation. Auditory-visual multi-sensory processing can assess using objective (event-related potential tests) and subjective (behavioral tests). In this study, we use the sound-induced flash illusion (SIFI) test as a subjective test. The results of the SIFI test show that when the test is complex, the younger children performed not as accurately as the older ones. This difference occurs due to the complexity in the auditory-visual multi-sensory pathway maturation. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and analyze the results of different age groups with their normative data.
人类听觉-视觉成熟的多感官神经通路在出生前就已发育。与成年人相比，儿童多感官脑通路的成熟水平差异很大。听觉感觉神经成熟比视觉感觉神经成熟更早发生。听觉-视觉多感官处理可以通过客观（事件相关电位测试）和主观（行为测试）方法进行评估。在本研究中，我们使用声音诱发闪光错觉（SIFI）测试作为主观测试。SIFI测试结果表明，当测试复杂时，年幼儿童的表现不如年长儿童准确。这种差异是由于听觉-视觉多感官通路成熟的复杂性所致。因此，有必要根据不同年龄组的标准数据来评估和分析结果。
