Where this record's text came from. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (html); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. The article body as supplied begins with PMC site boilerplate and the title/author block; nothing was quoted from that region. Claim type is 'existence' (single-exposure recalibration occurs) rather than 'mechanism' — the paper explicitly leaves the level of processing of the visual bias open. No effect was found for sound recalibrating vision, but that is a subsidiary observation reported as 'data not shown', so the record is not coded null-result. 2026-08-12, 2026-08-14, 2026-08-15 and 2026-08-25 schema-0.3 passes: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node.

phenomenonvisual recalibration of auditory space— “We investigated auditory spatial recalibration by vision.”
claim-typeexistence— “We show that in humans recalibration of perceived auditory space by vision can occur after a single exposure to discrepant auditory–visual stimuli lasting only a few milliseconds.”
method — evidence— “On unisensory auditory (A) trials, subjects reported the location of sound, on unisensory visual (V) trials, they reported the location of visual stimulus, and on bisensory (AV) trials they reported both the location of visual stimulus and location of auditory stimulus.”
object of study — evidence— “Nonetheless, the dynamics of sensory recalibration is unknown, and it is unclear whether prolonged inconsistency is required to trigger recalibration or whether such mechanisms are continuously engaged in self-maintenance.”
research question — evidence— “The extant data on sensory recalibration observed after extensive exposure are consistent with the following two competing hypotheses about the underlying mechanism: (1) a mechanism that becomes engaged from the onset of exposure to the discrepancy; and (2) a mechanism that requires accumulation of evidence of error in the form of repeated…
contribution — evidence— “We show that in humans recalibration of perceived auditory space by vision can occur after a single exposure to discrepant auditory–visual stimuli lasting only a few milliseconds.”
transferfrom machine learning: the teaching signal and self-supervised learning, imported to describe one modality correcting another with no external feedback— “The visual signal appears to serve as a teaching signal for auditory modality, resulting in self-supervised learning of sensory representations.”transfers[0]
transferfrom motor control research: the trial-by-trial adaptation-to-induced-error paradigm, imported as the expected timescale that sensory maps were assumed not to share— “However, an important difference between motor adaptation and the current example of sensory adaptation is that in the former, direct feedback can be used as teaching signal. Moreover, the motor system is expected to be highly malleable and dynamic (for instance, due to muscle fatigue), and thus, subject to adjustment.”transfers[1]
mechanismVision acts as a teaching signal that corrects the auditory spatial map because visual location estimates are far more reliable (lower response variance) than auditory ones, producing self-supervised learning without external feedback— “It seems that vision provided a teaching signal for auditory recalibration because the visual estimates were much more reliable (much lower variance in responses) ( Burge et al., 2010 ).”mechanisms[0]
mechanismPerceived unity of the two signals plus the size of the discrepancy jointly gate recalibration, so a sizable map shift happens only when the conflict is likely to reflect systematic error rather than noise, which keeps the perceptual system stable— “Therefore, the dependency of recalibration on the perceived unity of the signals as well as its dependence on the degree of discrepancy together suggests that a sizable shift in the auditory map does not occur all the time and is selective to situations wherein the discrepancy likely reflects a systematic error in one of the modalities.”mechanisms[1]
mechanismthe field's default position is diagnosed as an artefact of which experiments existed: no one had tested single exposures, so the accumulation account won implicitly— “To date, the lack of evidence for fast recalibration has implicitly favored the latter hypothesis.”mechanisms[2]
mechanismthe experiment is not built but found - pseudorandom interleaving in a dataset collected for another question makes every auditory trial's predecessor a single-exposure manipulation— “The raw data from these spatial localization judgments have been used in another study ( Wozny et al., 2010 ).”mechanisms[3]
mechanismtwo accounts that agree on most trials are separated by isolating the subset where they predict opposite directions— “We scrutinized this issue further by examining the subset of trials in which a shift in the direction of visual discrepancy and a shift in the direction of visual stimulus would be in opposite directions.”mechanisms[4]
mechanismthe dependent measure is defined relative to each observer's own average response to that sound position, so a shift of zero is what randomness would give— “Thus, if the distribution of responses to a given sound position is sampled randomly, on average this shift in perceived auditory location would be zero. Therefore, any average shift that significantly deviates from zero would indicate a dependence on the independent variable ( Fig. 1…mechanisms[5]

'To date, the lack of evidence for fast recalibration has implicitly favored the latter hypothesis.' Nobody argued for the slow account on its merits - it won by default because the fast one had not been demonstrated, and the paper names that as the reason the field believes what it believes. A 'critiques' records a dispute with a hypothesis and drops that THE SUPPORT WAS NEVER POSITIVE.

When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.
