Abstract
Stoffregen & Bardy's proposal that perceptual systems can use information d efined across two or, more sensory domains is valuable and urgent in its ow n right. However, their claim of exclusive validity for global-array inform ation is superfluous and perpetuated for incorrect reasons. The seeming amb iguities of individual arrays emanate from failures to consider relevant ec ological constraints and higher-order variables.
