在以前的研究中，Ward（1994）报道了空间无信息的视觉线索定向听觉注意，但空间无信息的听觉线索无法定向视觉注意。这种跨模态不对称性与其他由视觉模态主导的感觉间感知现象（例如，腹语术）。然而，Spence和Driver（1997）在不同的实验条件和不同的任务下发现了完全相反的不对称性。尽管两项研究之间存在一些差异，但Spence和Driver（也见Driver & Spence，1998）认为Ward的发现可能来自反应启动效应，他们自己报告的跨通道不对称性，其中听觉线索影响对视觉目标的反应，但反之亦然，实际上是正确的结果。本研究探讨跨通道的相互作用，刺激驱动的空间注意定向沃德的复杂线索环境条件下使用的实验程序，消除反应启动文物。结果表明，当线索环境复杂时，Ward（1994）所报道的跨通道不对称性确实会发生。我们认为，跨通道刺激驱动的注意力定向的策略效应是沃德和斯宾塞和司机（1997）发现的相反的不对称性的原因。
In a previous study, Ward (1994) reported that spatially uninformative visual cues orient auditory attention but that spatially uninformative auditory cues fail to orient visual attention. This cross-modal asymmetry is consistent with other intersensory perceptual phenomena that are dominated by the visual modality (e.g., ventriloquism). However, Spence and Driver (1997) found exactly the opposite asymmetry under different experimental conditions and with a different task. In spite of the several differences between the two studies, Spence and Driver (see also Driver & Spence, 1998) argued that Ward’s findings might have arisen from response-priming effects, and that the cross-modal asymmetry they themselves reported, in which auditory cues affect responses to visual targets but not vice versa, is in fact the correct result. The present study investigated cross-modal interactions in stimulus-driven spatial attention orienting under Ward’s complex cue environment conditions using an experimental procedure that eliminates response-priming artifacts. The results demonstrate that the cross-modal asymmetry reported by Ward (1994) does occur when the cue environment is complex. We argue that strategic effects in cross-modal stimulus-driven orienting of attention are responsible for the opposite asymmetries found by Ward and by Spence and Driver (1997).
