Document Summary

Slide 68 presented in two different senses. Cross - modal matching refers to the ability to recognize objects. Cross - modal matching refers to the ability to recognize objects presented in two different sensory modalities. For example , an object presented visually could be discriminated against using touch, or a photograph of a familiar person could be identified from a recording of their voice. 90 second oral exploration of smooth or nubby pacifier. 20 second visual test with dense styrofoam, bright orange. Store some representation of the tactually perceived shape. Rich vs lean interpretations rich = higher level, lean = lower level. Relate a subsequent visual perception to the stored representation of the tactually perceived shape (pg. 404) Are there lower-level perceptual explanations or higher-level. Meltzoff and moore suggest that infants are thinking, for example understand that what they see corresponds to what they do, indicates cross modal matching .
