在匹配样本的测试中，发现一只短吻海豚（Tursiops truncatus）能够立即识别各种形状复杂的物体，无论是在视觉或回声定位的感觉中，还是在这两种感觉中。识别的即时性表明，形状信息直接记录在海豚通过视觉或回声定位对物体的感知中，并且这些感知很容易在感官之间共享或整合。无论样本对象是否呈现给回声定位感和视觉感的替代品（E-V匹配）或相反，样本呈现给视觉感和回声定位感的替代品（V-E匹配），感官间识别的准确性几乎没有错误。此外，在V-E匹配过程中，海豚同样容易识别暴露在视觉中的样本物体是“活的”，是在真实的世界的空气中呈现的，还是在水下窗户后面的电视屏幕上显示的图像。总的来说，研究结果表明，海豚通过回声定位“看到”的东西在功能上与它通过视觉看到的东西相似。(C)1995年美国声学学会。
In matching-to-sample tests, a bottlenosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) was found capable of immediately recognizing a variety of complexly shaped objects both within the senses of vision or echolocation and, also, across these two senses. The immediacy of recognition indicated that shape information registers directly in the dolphin's perception of objects through either vision or echolocation, and that these percepts are readily shared or integrated across the senses. Accuracy of intersensory recognition was nearly errorless regardless of whether the sample objects were presented to the echolocation sense and the alternatives to the visual sense (E-V matching) or the reverse, with samples presented to the visual sense and alternatives to the echolocation sense (V-E matching). Furthermore, during V-E matching, the dolphin was equally facile at recognition whether the sample objects exposed to vision were ''live,'' presented in air in the real world, or were images displayed on a television screen placed behind an underwater window. Overall, the results suggested that what a dolphin ''sees'' through echolocation is functionally similar to what it sees through vision. (C) 1995 Acoustical Society of America.
