這個後續研究到了2001年有了新進展。英國的研究者Melvin,做了類似的實驗發表在《Archives of Oral Biology》:除了凹洞之外,並多比較了凸起在舌尖上的與視覺、觸覺上的跨感官錯覺,結果發現在不論舔的是凹洞或凸起,只要觸摸與看的是凹洞,就有放大效果,而且這樣的效果小至2mm大至12mm都有。不過,當觸摸與看為凸起時,放大的效果卻消失了,所以作者認為,這樣的跨感官錯覺,是因為手指對細小敏感程度造成的。
聽理解力對閱讀的影響也可從「默讀」(subvocalization or silent reading)的觀點來談。所謂「默讀」指的是在閱讀時,心中將文字唸出聲音,這是典型聽力者閱讀時的自然過程,它有助於大腦理解與記憶所讀過的內容,從而能夠減少認知負荷,並將剩餘的認知資源用在高層次的語言理解[14]。

一群加州大學柏克萊分校的腦神經學家 Deniz 等人[15],在《神經科學雜誌》(Journal of Neuroscience)上,發表了一篇有關大腦處理聽力與閱讀的論文,他們利用功能性磁振造影(Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, fMRI)技術,記錄一群成人受試者在閱讀和聆聽同一篇故事時,大腦活動的狀況,並根據結果繪製3D大腦互動式地圖(interactive map ,這個網頁可以讓你體驗 3D 大腦互動式地圖)。
