Cover Story: Humans use a range of cues to communicate their feelings, including facial expressions (i.e., visual modality) and vocalizations (i.e., auditory modality). When perceiving the emotions of others, Westerners tend to rely more on the visual modality, while Easterners tend to rely more on the auditory modality. We examined whether the amount of daily exposure to a new culture and length of cultural immersion influence the way multisensory emotions are perceived in bilinguals who immigrated to the United States from China. Here, we show that daily exposure to new cultural norms increases the likelihood of adopting the modality interference pattern of the new culture, while increased length of immersion leads to similar patterns between old Eastern and new Western cultures. We conclude that cultural experience and migration influence multisensory emotion processing in bilinguals. View this paper
