Abstract

Most adults cannot lipread very well, and when viewing only the visual speech signal, recognize very little of the content. Even so, the visual speech greatly enhances a degraded auditory speech signal, as when listening in the presence of background noise or with hearing loss. Although previous researchers have suggested that this super-additive effect is due to a distinct audiovisual integration ability, recent findings indicated that it can be accounted solely by unimodal performance.
