人们通常与听觉节奏同步移动（例如，音乐），而与纯粹的视觉节奏同步的运动是罕见的。在两个实验中，这种明显的吸引力的运动听觉节奏进行了调查，要求参与者轻拍他们的食指同步与isoprostic听觉（音调）或视觉（闪光灯）的目标序列，而分心序列在其他方式在各种相位关系之一。所获得的结果及其变异性表明，听觉干扰强烈地吸引了参与者的点击，而视觉干扰的影响要弱得多，如果有的话。这种不对称性举行无论空间一致性或相对显着性的刺激在这两种方式。当不同的不规则的定时模式施加在目标和干扰物序列，参与者的水龙头往往跟踪听觉干扰物序列的定时模式时，他们近似与视觉目标序列的相位，但不是相反。这些结果证实，有节奏的运动更强烈地吸引听觉比视觉节奏。在某种程度上，这是一种天生的倾向，它可能是音乐进化的一个重要因素。
People often move in synchrony with auditory rhythms (e.g., music), whereas synchronization of movement with purely visual rhythms is rare. In two experiments, this apparent attraction of movement to auditory rhythms was investigated by requiring participants to tap their index finger in synchrony with an isochronous auditory (tone) or visual (flashing light) target sequence while a distractor sequence was presented in the other modality at one of various phase relationships. The obtained asynchronies and their variability showed that auditory distractors strongly attracted participants' taps, whereas visual distractors had much weaker effects, if any. This asymmetry held regardless of the spatial congruence or relative salience of the stimuli in the two modalities. When different irregular timing patterns were imposed on target and distractor sequences, participants' taps tended to track the timing pattern of auditory distractor sequences when they were approximately in phase with visual target sequences, but not the reverse. These results confirm that rhythmic movement is more strongly attracted to auditory than to visual rhythms. To the extent that this is an innate proclivity, it may have been an important factor in the evolution of music.
