Synchronizing movements with events in the surrounding environment is a ubiquitous aspect of behavior. Experiments studying multimodal integration and rhythmic synchronization tend to focus on how bimodal (e.g., audio-visual) stimuli enhances synchronization performance (i.e., reduced variability) compared with synchronization with its unimodal constituents. As such, it is unclear whether trimodal (i.e., audio-visual-tactile) stimuli may yield additional performance benefits. To address this, we developed a multimodal sensorimotor synchronization assessment that incorporates audio, visual, and vibrotactile stimuli. Results replicate performance improvements with bimodal compared with unimodal stimuli. However, trimodal stimuli yields less, or in some cases no advantage compared with bimodal stimuli. These results demonstrate that in this case, increasing the amount of sensory information beyond bimodal stimuli yields little or no additional performance benefits.

多模态感觉统合：节奏同步的回报递减。

将运动与周围环境中的事件同步是行为的一个普遍方面。研究多模态整合和节奏同步的实验往往侧重于双模态（例如，视听）刺激与其单模态成分的同步相比如何增强同步性能（即，减少可变性）。因此，尚不清楚三模态（即视听触觉）刺激是否会产生额外的性能优势。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一种多模式感觉运动同步评估，它结合了音频、视觉和振动触觉刺激。与单峰刺激相比，结果复制了双峰的性能改进。然而，与双峰刺激相比，三峰刺激产生较少，或在某些情况下没有优势。这些结果表明，在这种情况下，在双峰刺激之外增加感官信息的数量几乎不会或不会产生额外的性能优势。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
