The effects that a manipulation of sensory experience may have on perceptual development are likely to depend on a number of factors, including the amount and the type of stimulation provided. To examine the relative influence of these stimulation factors on early perceptual organization, this study exposed bobwhite quail hatchlings to augmented amounts of bobwhite chick distress calls, bobwhite chick contentment calls, domestic chicken distress calls, or no additional auditory stimulation during the first 72 hr following hatching. Results showed that bobwhite hatchlings exposed to bobwhite chick distress calls do not exhibit species-typical visual responsiveness to maternal cues. In contrast, bobwhite hatchlings exposed to bobwhite chick contentment calls, domestic chicken hatchling distress calls, or no augmented auditory stimulation exhibited species-typical auditory and visual responsiveness to maternal cues. These results demonstrate intermodal effects of postnatal sensory stimulation and suggest that specific types of postnatal auditory stimulation, rather than simply increased amount of stimulation, are necessary to interfere with species-typical intersensory functioning.
感觉体验的操控对知觉发展可能产生的影响，可能取决于许多因素，包括所提供刺激的数量和类型。为了研究这些刺激因素对早期知觉组织的相对影响，本研究在刚孵化后的72小时内，让北美鹑雏鸟接触更多数量的北美鹑雏鸡遇险叫声、北美鹑雏鸡满足叫声、家鸡遇险叫声，或不给予额外的听觉刺激。结果表明，接触北美鹑雏鸡遇险叫声的北美鹑雏鸟，对母体线索没有表现出典型的物种视觉反应。相比之下，接触北美鹑雏鸡满足叫声、家鸡雏鸡遇险叫声或没有增加听觉刺激的北美鹑雏鸟，对母体线索表现出典型的物种听觉和视觉反应。这些结果证明了出生后感觉刺激的多感官效应，并表明特定类型的出生后听觉刺激，而非仅仅是刺激量的增加，对于干扰典型的物种感官间功能是必要的。
