Multisensory information is integrated asymmetrically in speech perception: An audio signal can follow video by 240ms, but can precede video by only 60ms, without disrupting the sense of synchronicity (Munhall et al., 1996). Similarly, air flow can follow either audio (Gick et al.

- Speakers adapt their speech movements based on whether an interlocutor is present, highlighting the importance of context in communication.

- The findings suggest that in the absence of auditory signals, speakers increase visual articulation, demonstrating the complex interplay between auditory and visual aspects of speech in social interactions.
