Intermodal Perception
Captions available
The idea
Intermodal perception is awareness through several senses at once, such as linking what is heard with what is seen.
In practice
Four-month-olds matching a ball's sound to its bounce, and two-month-olds noticing when speech and lips do not match.
Where people slip
Motor skills help: turning the head and reaching let an infant see and touch the same object.
