We start by highlighting an important distinction between three classes of audiovisual crossmodal correspondence: Namely those operating on individual sensory stimuli (so-called basic correspondences), those operating on dynamically-changing stimuli, or else on combinations of unisensory stimuli (so-called mid-level correspondences), and those operating on complex and often aesthetically-meaningful stimuli, such as music and paintings. We also highlight another important distinction between the literature on crossmodal matching and that dedicated to demonstrating crossmodal effects. The latter distinction aligns, in some sense, onto the distinction between crossmodal mapping and crossmodal effects. Although it may not be possible, in any meaningful sense, to translate works of art from one modality into another, that does not deny the possibility of augmenting a work of art by the deliberate addition of stimulation presented to another sensory modality. The aims and objectives of those who have attempted to augment works of art by introducing additional sensory stimulation are discussed. We also draw attention to a number of challenges and/or pitfalls (such as the distraction offered by recourse to the phenomenon of synaesthesia) for those interested in augmenting auditory/visual art crossmodally.</p>","PeriodicalId":12525,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Psychology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1605110"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12301324/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144729466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines production errors in a related but distinct type of featural manipulation: feature assignment in numeral phrases with modifiers such as \"five rusty old windows,\" in Bulgarian. The grammar of this language requires plural markers on the modifiers and a morphological count form on the final noun which speakers often erroneously replace with a regular plural form. In a series of four sentence completion experiments we demonstrate that speakers' errors in count form assignment are subject to linear rather than structural distance. Based on this, we argue that these errors are not due to attraction but instead reflect the cost of temporary storage and integration to resolve the assignment dependency, thus supporting linear distance-based theories of processing locality. Our findings also point to potential differences in the processing dynamics between agreement and feature assignment.</p>","PeriodicalId":12525,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Psychology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1560012"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12303052/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144729464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These functions include the monitoring and regulation of cardio-respiratory activity, emotional responses, inflammation and physical recovery, cognitive control, stress resilience, and team cohesion. We briefly review some useful interventions such as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation, heart-rate variability biofeedback, and controlled breathing as accessible tools for enhancing vagal tone, improving executive functioning under pressure, and mitigating fatigue and burnout. We describe how these approaches and their biological underpinnings are rooted by psychological models like the Yerkes-Dodson law and Polyvagal theory to contextualize their effects on athletic performance.
