McGurk effect

I would like to expand this article to include more information on its effect in whole sentences and add in some missing citations. I've also been looking at information and studies regarding how this phenomenon effects listeners in various languages besides English, particularly Italian; German; Spanish; Japanese; and Chinese, and would like to add information about this. Along with these two areas I would like to add information on how this effect compares in spoken and sung phonemes. My hope is to also weave some info into the article on how/why the brain transfers the visual phoneme and auditory phoneme into the third phoneme. I will be using the sources listed below.

Annotated Bibliography Section

  1. The authors of this article are both researchers and have written numerous articles relating to speech, hearing, and computer or technology use; while each has a different background: studying how people integrate sensory information in speech perception and building lipreading machines that can decode speech. I did not detect any particular bias in their article. The article was mainly discussing how people and machines can integrate auditory and visual information to understand speech. While the article was posted in the American Scientist it does not contain much technical jargon and could be easily understand by a college level student or someone with an interest in the subject.[1]


  1. The authors of this article are Italian researchers in the Audiology and Phoniatrics Department at University Hospital of Ferrara. I cannot locate further credentials that are in English, but came across multiple publications and articles written by them individually and collectively. This article discusses the phenomenon as it occurs in various other languages with the main focus of their study on Italian subjects. The article starts out fairly basic but it soon becomes apparent that it is a journal publication and becomes much more technical and over the heads of the average reader. I did not notice any bias to the article.[2]
