Abstract
The present study explored the effects of short-term experience with audiovisual asynchronous stimuli in 6-month-old infants. Results revealed that, in contrast with adults (usually showing temporal recalibration under similar circumstances), a brief exposure to asynchrony increased infants’ perceptual sensitivity to audiovisual synchrony.
► The detection of audiovisual synchrony is a domain-general process. ► Experience with audiovisual asynchrony has different perceptual consequences for adults and infants. ► A short-term exposure to an asynchronous audiovisual stimuli increases 6-month-old infants’ ability to discriminate asynchronous events.
