Discussion

The study reveals that prior expectations influence audiovisual integration in face-to-face communication, enhancing understanding.

Participants showed a stronger tendency to integrate signals conveying congruent communicative intent, improving clarity.
The ventriloquist effect quantified the integration of audiovisual signals, particularly under communicative conditions.
The approach combined psychophysics with computational modeling to analyze decision strategies during communication tasks.
Findings suggest that expectations play a critical role in shaping how we process multisensory information during interaction.

Mazzi et al. (2025) studied this question.
