as the standard stimuli
and the incongruent audiovisual combination of acoustic /ba/ þvisual
/va/ as deviant stimulus as these were the phonemes for which
Rosenblum et al. (2000) found the effect to be the strongest. To ensure
that the McThatcher effect occurs for these specific stimuli, we also
replicate Rosenblum et al.'s behavioral paradigm. Our hypothesis is
that the McGurk-MMN will mirror behavioral findings and confirm
the effect as being a truly perceptual effect. As the amplitude of the
MMN is known to increase with perceived stimulus difference
(Garrido et al., 2009; May and Tiitinen, 2010; Näätänen et al., 1978,
2004) we expect MMN amplitudes to be correlated with levels of
behavioral McGurk responses.
