Effects of spatial congruency (Exp. 2). The visual target was presented at the right side of the display, whereas the sounds were provided to the participant’s right (Exp. 2A: congruent) or left ear (Exp. 2B: incongruent) through headphones. From the proportion correct (A, C), the differences in proportion correct (B, D) were calculated by subtracting the proportion correct in the no-sound condition from each sound condition. Visual orientation discrimination performance was degraded only when the 65-dBA SPL sound was presented spatially congruent with the visual target. Error bars denote the standard error of the mean (N = 7). An asterisk indicates the sound condition significantly different from the baseline (the no-sound condition) (p < .05).
