title: How big is this sound? Crossmodal association between pitch and size in infants.
abstract: We examined 4- and 6-month-old infants' sensitivity to the perceptual association between pitch and object size. Crossmodal correspondence effects were observed in 6-month-old infants but not in younger infants, suggesting that experience and/or further maturation is needed to fully develop this crossmodal association.
