Averaging temporal duration and spatial position.

Averaging temporal duration and spatial position.

Pigeons and humans performed on a task in which spatial position and elapsed time redundantly signaled the availability of reward. On each training trial, a landmark moved steadily across a monitor screen. After a fixed amount of time and movement, reward was available for a response. On occasional unrewarded tests, the landmark moved at 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.50, or 2.00 times the training speed....

Motion energy versus position tracking: spatial, temporal and chromatic parameters

The fundamental question in motion perception is whether motion is an interpretation imposed on an object or feature perceived at separate positions at sequential instants, or whether it is the response of direction-sensitive detectors that can extract the motion-energy in the stimulus, i.e. the orientation of spatio-temporal energy. To answer this question we constructed stimuli whose position...

The Effects of Duration Words and Spatial-Temporal Metaphors on Perceived Duration

Subjective duration estimates are positively related to the magnitude of various non-temporal stimuli (e.g. Xuan et al., 2007). Our study investigated whether temporal and spatial magnitude information conveyed by linguistic stimuli would affect perceived duration in a temporal reproduction task. We used time-related words referring to different exact durations (e.g. second; Experiment 1), and ...
