From Senses to Memory During Childhood: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Meta-Analysis Exploring Multisensory Processing and Working Memory Development.

ABSTRACT: Multisensory processing has long been recognized to enhance perception, cognition, and actions in adults. However, there is currently limited understanding of how multisensory stimuli, in comparison to unisensory stimuli, contribute to the development of both motor and verbally assessed working memory (WM) in children. Thus, the current study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the associations between the multisensory processing of auditory and visual stimuli, and performance on simple and more complex WM tasks, in children from birth to 15 years old. We also aimed to determine whether there are differences in WM capacity for audiovisual compared to unisensory auditory or visual stimuli alone after receptive and spoken language develop. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systemati
