Abstract

Based on the previous outcomes [1], the study utilized a laboratory experiment including 30 participants to explore the impact of color-touch cross-modal correspondence on the temporal integration of multimodal information. This experiment adopted an intra-group design, and all participants were required to complete a series of multimodal perception tasks and stimulation level judgment tasks in the same environment. In each trial, a vibration stimulus, and a color stimulus, each lasting 100 ms would appear. There might be a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between two stimuli. After the stimuli combination, participants had to finish a temporal judgment task to determine the order in which two stimuli appeared. The independent variables of this experiment were stimuli combination type and SOA. Among them, the stimuli combination type is also tied with color chroma level (2 levels, high or low), vibration amplitude level (2 levels, high or low), and cross-modal correspondence (2 levels, high or low). There were two dependent variables in the experiment to evaluate the judgment process, namely accuracy and reaction time. As for results, firstly, cross-modal correspondence had no significant impact on temporal judgment. Besides, other independent variables (SOA, stimuli combinations, vibration amplitude levels, color chroma levels and the sequence of stimuli) had some impacts on accuracy and reaction time (RT). Although the experiment did not discover the relationship between color-touch cross-modal correspondence and temporal integration of multimodal information, further research could adjust the experimental design based on this to further explore related fields.
