The Combined Effect of Visual Stimulus Complexity and Semantic Content on Audiovisual Associative Equivalence Learning.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Rutgers Acquired Equivalence Test (RAET) is an associative learning task that requires participants to learn pairs of visual stimuli and then recall and generalize these associations. To further explore this cognitive task, we developed three audiovisual learning tests with the same structure as the original RAET.

Methods

Each audiovisual test applied the same four distinct auditory antecedents but differed in visual consequents in complexity and semantic content, that is, cartoon faces (SoundFace), colored fish (SoundFish), and geometric shapes (SoundPolygon), respectively. The present study investigated the effect of these different visual stimuli on performance in audiovisual associative equivalence learning. Learning performance was assessed across three p
