Abstract
The study investigated whether vigilance performance improves when tactile stimuli are dual-coded with visual or auditory signals, compared to unimodal conditions. Prior studies investigated visual-audio dual coding, whereas dual coding including tactile information has not been examined. One hundred participants completed a 40-min vigilance task under tactile-only, visual-only, audio-only, visual-tactile, or audio-tactile conditions. Participants pressed the spacebar when the critical stimulus (shorter duration) occurred and withheld responses when the neutral stimulus (longer duration) occurred. Results showed a vigilance decrement in all conditions, with decreases in proportion of correct detections and sensitivity, and increases in response bias, reaction time and false alarms, during the course of the vigil. Dual-coded conditions showed higher sensitivity and proportion of correct detections compared to unimodal conditions, and the audio-tactile condition yielded the best performance. These results suggest that dual coding with closely coupled (audio-tactile) modalities improves signal salience, especially in tasks requiring duration discrimination.
When people monitor rare signals for sustained periods, detection performance declines over time (vigilance decrement). In applied settings this decline can lead to missed critical signals. Prior research examined whether changing display modalities would improve detection after a vigilance decrement, but results were...

While older adults maintained behavioral performance possibly through compensatory neural mechanisms involving enhanced attentional allocation, the use of multisensory stimuli for spatial change detection appears to be largely preserved in aging.

Efficient motion perception requires integrating immediate sensory evidence with internal representations shaped by experience. This influence of recent history can produce serial dependence effects (SDEs), in which current judgments are biased toward or away from the source of previous information. We examined SDEs in...

Introduction Spanning multisensory integration, ageing, attention, and motor control, this study is, to our knowledge, the first to examine how audiovisual integration differentially influences the initiation and execution of goal-directed motor actions across the adult lifespan. Methods Young adults (<30 years) and ol...

Delay eyeblink conditioning is widely used to study cerebellar function and has been considered a biomarker of cerebellar dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric disorders. A major challenge for repeated testing is transfer of learning across sessions. We tested whether using conditioned stimuli (CSs) from differen...

The present study examined whether ensemble averaging of quantitative stimulus dimensions shows similar characteristics across sensory modalities. Although ensemble perception has been widely studied in vision, less is known about whether comparable processes operate in audition and touch. In particular, it remains unc...
