Intermodal information that is not unique to one sensory channel, as when a single event is specified by more than one modality. In essence, amodal properties are putativeproperties of multisensory stimulation, which are argued to be easilyaccessible to the human infant. Amodal properties contrast with arbitrarycross-modal relations and are currently defined as multisensory perceptualproperties that are specified in a completely redundant way across the senses, and may include a range of aspects of stimulation (recent proposalsinclude duration, intensity, tempo, rhythmical pattern, shape, and texture).
