Sensory Enhancement

Numerous experiments have shown that visual deprivation (darkness) produces cross-modal sensory enhancement effects. Only recently it has been demonstrated that auditory deprivation can produce similar effects. An experiment was conducted where subjects were exposed to a 1-wk. period of auditory deprivation (silence) with measures of their tactual fusion threshold being taken at daily intervals. The experimental subjects showed, relative to a control condition, a lowering of their threshold. The results are discussed in the context of the sensoristatic model, and the latter's capacity to account for these effects.

We investigated audio-visual (AV) perceptual integration by examining the effect of seeing the speaker's synchronised moving face on masked-speech detection ability. Signal amplification and higher-level cognitive accounts of an AV advantage were contrasted, the latter by varying whether participants knew the language of the speaker. An AV advantage was shown for sentences whose mid-to-high-frequency acoustic envelope was highly correlated with articulator movement, regardless of knowledge of the language. For low-correlation sentences, knowledge of the language had a large impact; for participants with no knowledge of the language an AV inhibitory effect was found (providing support for reports of a compelling AV illusion). The results indicate a role for both sensory enhancement and higher-level cognitive factors in AV speech detection.

Sensory Enhancement

This paper examines language as a multimodal sensory enhancement system, integrating recent neuroanatomical and neurophysiological findings on the ontogenesis of neuronal structures with the generative concept of Universal Grammar (UG) for determination of fundamental differences between primary (PLA) and secondary (SLA) language acquisition. Substantial attention is given to general neurobiological principles such as experience expectant/dependent synaptogenesis, formational/organizational versus associational/reactive plasticity, characteristics of modular cortical organization, and general epigenetic qualities (e.g., intra- and interhemispheric competition, selective neuronal preservation, etc.) of the developing brain. Special emphasis is placed on neurobiological specializations relative to language (e.g., interhemispheric differences in dendritic arborization in Broca's area). The assumed innateness of UG is critically examined, with the neurobiological evidence indicating (a) the first language (L1) does not equal the second language (L2) neurobiologically, and (b) epigenetic factors contributing to PLA are often underestimated. The relevance of these conclusions for SLA is also briefly discussed.

Computer technology is commonplace in todays work environment. Information management capabilities have recently been extended to visually handicapped personnel through the implementation of a Sensory Assistance Center at the Department of Justice. This paper discusses the analyzes and integration of human, mechanical and environmental components comprising the Center and the rigorous human factors testing of enhancement devices for special populations. Special user needs were identified and these findings applied to operating capabilities and limitations of the components in the Sensory Assistance Center.
