Ventriloquist illusion, the change in perceived location of an auditory stimulus when a synchronously presented but spatially discordant visual stimulus is added, has been previously shown in young healthy populations to be a robust paradigm that mainly relies on automatic processes. Here, we propose ventriloquist illusion as a potential simple test to assess audiovisual (AV) integration in young and older individuals. We used a modified version of the illusion paradigm that was adaptive, nearly bias-free, relied on binaural stimulus representation using generic head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) instead of multiple loudspeakers, and tested with synchronous and asynchronous presentation of AV stimuli (both tone and speech). The minimum audible angle (MAA), the smallest perceptible difference in angle between two sound sources, was compared with or without the visual stimuli in young and older adults with no or minimal sensory deficits. The illusion effect, measured by means of MAAs implemented with HRTFs, was observed with both synchronous and asynchronous visual stimulus, but only with tone and not speech stimulus. The patterns were similar between young and older individuals, indicating the versatility of the modified ventriloquist illusion paradigm.
