Question

At a football game, your friend from ten rows down yells at you to bring them some of your popcorn. At first you couldn't understand what they were asking, but once you saw their mouth, you could make out the request. This is consistent with the __________.

with the results of the Sumby and Pollack study on the audiovisual advantage
with the McGurk and McDonald effect on white noise
multisensory enhancement explanation
place theory

Answer 1

This is consistent with the **audiovisual advantage** as demonstrated in the Sumby and Pollack study. This study highlights how visual cues (like lip movements) can enhance auditory perception, especially in noisy environments, allowing you to better understand your friend's request despite the background noise of the football game.
