Effects of temporal congruency (Exp. 3). (A) Schematic illustrations of the inter-stimulus interval (ISI) between the visual and auditory stimuli. ISIs of 0, ±47, ±106 and ±200 ms (minus sign indicates auditory stimulus first and plus sign indicates visual stimulus first) were assigned. (B) Results. The magnitude of the auditory suppression effect in each ISI condition was calculated based on proportions of correct responses for visual discrimination. A significant auditory suppression effect occurred in the 0-ms ISI condition. There was also a medium effect size in the + 50 -ms ISI condition. Error bars denote the standard error of the mean (N = 8). An asterisk indicates the condition significantly different from the baseline (the no-sound condition) (p < .05).
