When you experience the world through combined or integrated sensory inputs, it is called intermodal perception

There are two extreme positions on how such information is put together into unified impressions: the constructivist view and the separatist view. Describe how each of these viewpoints sees intermodal perception and give an example of a theorist who held that perspective.

What will be an ideal response?

Jean Piaget was a proponent of the constructivist view, which states that young infants are not aware that what they see is related to what they hear. He hypothesized that infants need to learn, through experience, to coordinate their sensory systems. On the other end of the spectrum, T.G.R. Bower speculated that infants have to learn to separate their sensory impressions. In the beginning, infants confuse their sensory impressions—they do not know whether they are seeing or hearing, tasting or smelling. Bower concluded that, "the initial primitive unity [of the sensory systems] must go; leaving differentiated sensory systems in place of a unitary perceptual world."
