We studied the representations underlying audiovisual integration using a priming paradigm. Audiovisual primes, preceding auditory targets, were either incongruent (auditory /ba/ & visual /va/) or congruent (auditory /va/ & visual /va/, auditory /ba/ & visual /ba/). The targets were /ba/ or /va/. The intensity of the prime´s auditory component was either 50 dB or 60 dB. Identification speed of the target /ba/ was strongly affected by the nature of the prime. The effect of the incongruent audiovisual prime depended on the intensity of its acoustic component. Our results suggest that processing of visible articulatory movements influence auditory speech processing.
