Figure 2. Schematic representation of a trial in the Speech-In-Noise (SIN) task.

Figure 2

The SIN task had two conditions – the audiovisual (AV, top panel) and the auditory only (A, bottom panel). Note that separate timelines are shown for the video and audio tracks in each condition. In the AV condition, participants saw a video of the piglet articulating target words, while in the A condition the video portion was replaced with a static image of the piglet’s face with her mouth open. The appearance of the open mouth picture in the A condition cued participants to the fact that the onset of the auditory word was imminent, but provided no visual cues to its identity.
