Explain intermodal perception and its importance to perceptual development
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
Intermodal perception is a fundamental capacity that fosters all aspects of psychological development. Our world provides rich, continuous intermodal stimulation—simultaneous input from more than one modality, or sensory system. In intermodal perception, we make sense of these running streams of light, sound, tactile, odor, and taste information, perceiving them as integrated wholes.
Infants perceive input from different sensory systems in a unified way by detecting amodal sensory properties—information that overlaps two or more sensory systems. Young infants seem biologically primed to focus on amodal information. Their detection of amodal relations—for example, the common tempo and rhythm in sights and sounds—precedes and provides the basis for detecting more specific intermodal matches, such as the relation between a particular person’s face and the sound of her voice or between an object and its verbal label.
