Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermodal perception refers to the ability to integrate and make sense of information from different senses, such as seeing an object and hearing its sound at the same time. Therefore, option B, which states that infants are able to integrate information across different senses, is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because intermodal perception involves combining multiple sources of sensory information, not isolating them. Option C is incorrect because sensing visual and auditory stimuli at the same time is one of the outcomes of intermodal perception, not the definition of it. Option D is incorrect because intermodal perception involves integrating information from different senses, not keeping them separate.
