An experiment is reported in which reaction times (RTs) were measured to light and sound presented singly and in combination. The chief experimental variable was stimulus onset asynchrony. The results may be summarized as follows:(a) Intersensory facilitation was demonstrated in that, for certain asynchronies, RTs were faster to the combination than to either stimulus alone.(b) Maximum facilitation occurred at or just beyond the point at which the asynchrony was equal to the difference in RT to the single stimuli.(c) Varying the intensity of the stimuli differentially affected the magnitude of facilitation. Reducing the light intensity resulted in less facilitation whereas reducing the sound intensity had no effect.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
