Figure 1

By-participant response times to the secondary vibrotactile task for the easy (left) and hard (right) conditions. The dot represents the mean response time in each condition, and the shape of each plot represents the distribution of responses across participants.

Table 3

Coefficients, standard errors, t- or z-values, and p-values for the accepted models. t-values are reported for the continuously valued response times and z-values are presented for the binomially distributed word recognition accuracy data. See available code for details of the random effects structure for each model.

Figure 2

By-participant response times to the secondary vibrotactile task (A) and word recognition accuracy (B) in the easy and hard SNRs in the A-only and AV modalities in Experiment 2. The dot represents the mean response time (A) or accuracy (B) in each condition, and the shape of each plot represents the distribution of responses across participants.

Figure 3

Model predictions and 95% confidence intervals for average response times to the vibrotactile task as a function of lipreading score, SNR, and modality. Each point represents the average response time for a given condition and participant.

By-participant recall of the 3- and 4-back words (A) and overall word recognition accuracy (B) in the easy and hard conditions in the A-only and AV modalities in Experiment 3. The dot represents the mean recall (A) or accuracy (B) in each condition, and the shape of each plot represents the distribution of responses across participants.
