Liverence, Brandon M.; Scholl, Brian J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
In visual images, we perceive both space (as a continuous visual medium) and objects (that inhabit space). Similarly, in dynamic visual experience, we perceive both continuous time and discrete events. What is the relationship between these units of experience? The most intuitive answer may be similar to the spatial case: time is perceived as an…

Riemer, Martin; Trojan, Jorg; Kleinbohl, Dieter; Holzl, Rupert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Systematic errors in time reproduction tasks have been interpreted as a misperception of time and therefore seem to contradict basic assumptions of pacemaker-accumulator models. Here we propose an alternative explanation of this phenomenon based on methodological constraints regarding the direction of time, which cannot be manipulated in…

Spalek, Thomas M.; Lagroix, Hayley E. P.; Yanko, Matthew R.; Di Lollo, Vincent – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Identification accuracy for the second of two target (T2) is impaired when presented shortly after the first (T1). Does this attentional blink (AB) also impair the perception of the order of presentation? In four experiments, three letter targets (T1, T2, T3) were inserted in a stream of digit distractors displayed in rapid serial visual…

Matthews, William J.; Stewart, Neil; Wearden, John H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
This article explores the widely reported finding that the subjective duration of a stimulus is positively related to its magnitude. In Experiments 1 and 2 we show that, for both auditory and visual stimuli, the effect of stimulus magnitude on the perception of duration depends upon the background: Against a high intensity background, weak stimuli…

Isham, Eve A.; Banks, William P.; Ekstrom, Arne D.; Stern, Jessica A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Previous work suggested the association between intentionality and the reported time of action was exclusive, with intentionality as the primary facilitator to the mental time compression between the reported time of action and its effect (Haggard, Clark, & Kalogeras, 2002). In three experiments, we examined whether mental time compression…

Yarrow, Kielan; Roseboom, Warrick; Arnold, Derek H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Cross-modal temporal recalibration describes a shift in the point of subjective simultaneity (PSS) between 2 events following repeated exposure to asynchronous cross-modal inputs--the adaptors. Previous research suggested that audiovisual recalibration is insensitive to the spatial relationship between the adaptors. Here we show that audiovisual…

Thompson, Sarah K.; Carlyon, Robert P.; Cusack, Rhodri – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Three experiments studied auditory streaming using sequences of alternating "ABA" triplets, where "A" and "B" were 50-ms tones differing in frequency by [delta]f semitones and separated by 75-ms gaps. Experiment 1 showed that detection of a short increase in the gap between a B tone and the preceding A tone, imposed on one ABA triplet, was better…

Kawahara, Jun-ichiro – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
When 2 targets are embedded in a rapid serial visual presentation stream of distractors, perception of the second target is impaired when the intertarget lag is relatively short (less than 500 ms). Stimuli concurrently presented with the stream can affect this phenomenon, which is called attentional blink (AB). Previous studies have yielded…

Lu, Aitao; Mo, Lei; Hodges, Bert H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In five experiments we explored the effects of weight on time in different action contexts to test the hypothesis that an integrated magnitude system is tuned to affordances. Larger magnitudes generally seem longer; however, Lu and colleagues (2009) found that if numbers were presented as weights in a range heavy enough to affect lifting, the…

Turk-Browne, Nicholas B.; Scholl, Brian J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
The environment contains considerable information that is distributed across space and time, and the visual system is remarkably sensitive to such information via the operation of visual statistical learning (VSL). Previous VSL studies have focused on establishing what kinds of statistical relationships can be learned but have not fully explored…

Matthews, William J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Six experiments investigated how changes in stimulus speed influence subjective duration. Participants saw rotating or translating shapes in three conditions: constant speed, accelerating motion, and decelerating motion. The distance moved and average speed were the same in all three conditions. In temporal judgment tasks, the constant-speed…

Hartcher-O'Brien, Jessica; Alais, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
This study examines how audiovisual signals are combined in time for a temporal analogue of the ventriloquist effect in a purely temporal context, that is, no spatial grounding of signals or other spatial facilitation. Observers were presented with two successive intervals, each defined by a 1250-ms tone, and indicated in which interval a brief…

Gogate, Lakshmi J.; Prince, Christopher G.; Matatyaho, Dalit J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
To explore early lexical development, the authors examined infants' sensitivity to changes in spoken syllables and objects given different temporal relations between syllable-object pairings. In Experiment 1, they habituated 2-month-olds to 1 syllable, /tah/ or /gah/, paired with an object in "synchronous" (utterances coincident with object…

Ouellet, Marc; Santiago, Julio; Funes, Maria Jesus; Lupianez, Juan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Previous studies have shown that past and future temporal concepts are spatially represented (past being located to the left and future to the right in a mental time line). This study aims at further investigating the nature of this space-time conceptual metaphor, by testing whether the temporal reference of words orient spatial attention or…

Hunt, Amelia R.; Chapman, Craig S.; Kingstone, Alan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
Everyone has probably experienced chronostasis, an illusion of time that can cause a clock's second hand to appear to stand still during an eye movement. Though the illusion was initially thought to reflect a mechanism for preserving perceptual continuity during eye movements, an alternative hypothesis has been advanced that overestimation of time…
