ABSTRACT
Our research in cross-modal perception has dealt primarily with infants’ recognition of an object in the face of a change in sensory modality. More specifically, we have studied infants’ recognition by sight of an object previously only felt or recognition by touch of an object previously only seen. The recognition of identity or similarity between the impressions gained in different modalities has been referred to as cross-modal (or intersensory) matching, cross-modal transfer, or sensory equivalence.
