   Seeing may be believing，but hearing a sound first may help your sense of sight，according to results of a new study.

   Researchers at the University of California of San Diego report that people were more accurate at noticing a flash of light when a sound was produced at the same place immediately before the light flashed.

   “We used a loud sound to catch our participants’（受試者）attention” one of the study’s authors, Dr McDonald， said in an article.  During some experiments， the sound occurred at the same location as the flash of light，while at other times it was produced on the opposite side of participants’ field of sight. The 33 participants in the study were more accurate at noticing the flash of light when the sound occurred on the same side，suggesting that sound can help direct visual（視覺(jué)的）attention.

   According to McDonald， his research team plans to continue studying the relationship between sight and sound. It will be interesting to see， he said，what happens to the ability to pay attention when one of the sense does not work as well as it should，as in a person who is blind of has hearing problems.

   McDonald also noted that research into the relationship between sight and sound could affect the way we 1ook at peop1e with attention disorder. Traditionally，these people together are considered to have attention prob1em，but in some people the problem may be caused by hearing or sight deficits（缺陷）.

   “ It could be possible that they cou1d have a deficit in one sense or another，or in relating sight and sound together，” McDonald said. Research into this area may lead to better treatment for people who have a hard time paying attention. It may be a good idea to take into consideration the relationship between sound and sight when designing warning signals，such as for an airplane pilot.
