Abstract: Using the McGurk paradigm,the present study explored the characteristics and developmental trends of audiovisual speech perception of Chinese children and adults.30 primary school students in Grade 2,24 students in Grade 5,and 29 freshmen were requested to repeat the monosyllable presented in the audiovisual and audio-only modality.The results showed that speech perception were significantly affected by the visual cues for all the subjects,but the magnitude of influence showed no age difference.This results support the hypothesis that "McGurk effect is linguistic universal".

Key words: McGurk effect, Audiovisual speech perception, Visual speech, Audio speech
