In addition, we found that participants leveraged explicit knowledge about the pairs associations to predict targets, but not distractors, revealing a dissociable impact of implicit and explicit learning on predictive functioning. (8/8)

This cross-modal interaction effect suggests that predictions may be coordinated at a supra-modal level. This strategy optimizes resource allocation by prioritizing processing based on the behavioral relevance of each prediction. (7/8)

Our results showed that performance was influenced by the fulfillment of expectations in the target modality. Prediction violations in the distractor modality had a similar impact, but only when predictions in the attended modality were correct. (6/8)

We investigated whether prediction violations in the distractor modality impacted the predictive performance in the attended modality. We also examined whether explicit knowledge about the associations modulated the strength of prediction effects. (5/8)

To test these hypotheses, in two behavioral experiments, participants were exposed to concurrent visual and auditory stimulus transitions governed by independent probabilistic rules, while performing a perceptual task on only one sensory modality. (4/8)

We wondered whether, in such scenarios, predictions in each sensory modality are generated and contrasted through parallel, modality-specific predictive systems, or are they jointly regulated? (3/8)

We are often surrounded by predictable events across sensory modalities, yet our attention must shift between them. For example, when driving, we attend to predictive visual cues on the road while listening to predictable music patterns. (2/8)
