Notes: A-auditory; V-visual; T-tactile; AT-audiotactile; AV-audiovisual; SOA (i.e., stimulus onset asynchrony) represents the time interval from the cue onset to the target onset. “Effect size/ms” was obtained by subtracting the mean reaction time at the cued location from that at the uncued location. High load indicates paradigms containing dual tasks. The cued location indicates that the target appeared at the same location as the cue, while the uncued location indicates that the target appeared at the opposite location from the cue.
