Relative Difference
MOCA Domain:
Cross-modal matching refers to the ability to recognize objects presented in two different sensory modalities. For example, an object presented visually could be discriminated using touch, or a photograph of a familiar person could be identified from a recording of their voice. Cross-modal perception is believed to recruit activity in polysensory cortex.
The Human Difference:
Several studies have shown cross-modal perception in chimpanzees, using both visual and tactile and visual and auditory modalities.
Universality in Human Populations:
Universal barring psychopathology
Occurrence in Other Animals:
Apes, Old world monkeys, New world monkeys, Cetaceans, elephants and dogs
