Visual representation of the audio-visual word presentation paradigm. Stimuli were presented simultaneously from visual (screen) and auditory (earphones) sensory inputs in two different condition (1) “match” condition, for which the visually and acoustically presented words were identical, and (2) “mismatch” condition, for which the visually and acoustically presented words were different. The participants were asked to compare visually and acoustically presented words and to press the response button only if they did not match.
