Crossmodal correspondences are the automatic associations that most people have between different basic sensory stimulus attributes, dimensions, or features. For instance, people often show a systematic tendency to associate moving objects with changing pitches. Cognitive styles are defined as an individual’s consistent approach to think, perceive, and remember information, and they reflect qualitative rather than quantitative differences between individuals in their thinking processes. Here we asked whether cognitive styles played a role in modulating the crossmodal interaction. We used the visual Ternus display in our study, since it elicits two distinct apparent motion percepts: element motion (with a shorter interval between the two Ternus frames) and group motion (with a longer interval between the two frames). We examined the audiovisual correspondences between the visual Ternus movement directions (upward or downward) and the changes of pitches of concurrent glides (ascending frequency or descending frequency). Moreover, we measured the cognitive styles (with the Embedded Figure Test) for each participant. The results showed that congruent correspondence between pitch-ascending (decreasing) glides and moving upward (downward) visual directions led to a more dominant percept of ‘element motion’, and such an effect was typically observed in the field-independent group. Importantly, field-independent participants demonstrated a high efficiency for identifying the properties of audiovisual events and applying the crossmodal correspondence in crossmodal interaction. The results suggest cognitive styles could differentiate crossmodal correspondences in crossmodal interaction.

Is motion perception based on a local piecemeal analysis of the image or do ‘global’ effects also play an important role? Use was made of bistable apparent-motion displays in trying to answer this question. Two spots were flashed simultaneously on diagonally opposite corners of a 1 deg wide square and then switched off and replaced by two spots appearing on the other two corners. One can either see vertical or horizontal oscillation and the display is bistable just as a Necker cube is. If several such bistable figures are randomly scattered on the screen and presented simultaneously, then one usually sees the same motion axis in all of them, suggesting the presence of field-like effects for resolving ambiguity in apparent motion. While viewing a single figure observers experience hysteresis: they tend to adhere to one motion axis or the other and can switch the axis only by looking away and looking back after 10–30 s have elapsed. The figure can be switched off and made to reappear at some other random location on the screen and it is then always found to retain its motion axis. Several such demonstrations are presented to show that spatial induction effects in metastable motion displays may provide a particularly valuable probe for studying ‘laws’ of perceptual organization.
