| Variables Derived from Psychophysical Measures | |
| Temporal Binding Window for Audiovisual Speech | The difference (in ms) between the points where two psychometric curves fit to data for the proportion of reported synchrony across SOAs cross 0.75 (see Figure 1) |
| Proportion of Fusions in Response to McGurk Ba/Ga Stimuli | Proportion of “da” and “tha” responses to the number of mismatched audiovisual (i.e., auditory “ba” + visual “ga”) trials |
| Proportion of Fusions in Response to McGurk Pa/Ka Stimuli | Proportion of “ta” and “ha” responses to the number of mismatched audiovisual (i.e., auditory “pa” + visual “ka”) trials |
| Audiovisual Word Recognition Identification Accuracy −3dB SNR | Number of whole words correctly identified during the speech-in-noise task in the audiovisual condition with a −3dB SNR |
| Audiovisual Word Recognition Identification Accuracy −6dB SNR | Number of whole words correctly identified during the speech-in-noise task in the audiovisual condition with a −6dB SNR |
| Variables Derived from Event Related Potential (ERP) Measure | |
| N1 Amplitude | The average amplitude of the grand-average waveform in response to AO and AV stimuli between 100 ms and 140 ms post-stimulus onset |
| N1 Latency | Length of time, in ms, for the grand-average waveform in response to AO and AV stimuli to reach the maximum amplitude between 100 ms and 140 ms post-stimulus onset |
| P2 Amplitude | The average amplitude of the grand-average waveform in response to AO and AV stimuli between 160 ms and 240 ms post-stimulus onset |
| P2 Latency | Length of time, in ms, for the grand-average waveform in response to AO and AV stimuli to reach the maximum amplitude between 160 ms and 240 ms post-stimulus onset |
| Variables Derived from Eye Tracking Measure | |
| Proportion of Total Looking Time to the Eyes | Proportion of time looking to the eyes AOI of total time looking to the face AOI in each condition (i.e., English ID, Spanish ID, English AD, Spanish AD) |
| Proportion of Total Looking Time to the Mouth | Proportion of time looking to the mouth AOI of total time looking to the face AOI during each condition (i.e., English ID, Spanish ID, English AD, Spanish AD) |
Note. AD = adult-directed; AO = auditory-only; AV = audiovisual; AOI = area of interest; ID = infant-directed; SNR = signal-to-noise ratio; SOA = stimulus onset asynchrony.
