Why studying intermodal duration discrimination matters
A critical issue in the field of time perception is whether or not explicit judgments about time are processed by some internal clock mechanism. A subsequent issue is whether or not this clock, if any, is central (i.e., is the same for a large range of durations, for whatever way of marking the intervals to be processed). There are several ways of marking time, including the use of signals deli...
متن کاملStudying families: Why demography matters

Hispanics emerged as a key voting bloc, joining other demographic segments of the U.S. electorate (e.g., women, young people, sin...
متن کاملMarkers' influence on the duration discrimination of intermodal intervals.
The effects of sensory signal characteristics on the duration discrimination of intermodal intervals was investigated in three experiments. Temporal intervals were marked by either the successive presentation of a visual then auditory signal (VA), or by the successive presentation of an auditory then visual signal (AV). The results indicated that (1) VA intervals are generally easier to discrim...
متن کاملEEG Investigations of Duration Discrimination: The Intermodal Effect Is Induced by an Attentional Bias
Previous studies indicated that empty time intervals are better discriminated in the auditory than in the visual modality, and when delimited by signals delivered from the same (intramodal intervals) rather than from different sensory modalities (intermodal intervals). The present electrophysiological study was conducted to determine the mechanisms which modulated the performances in inter- and...
متن کاملWhy emotion matters
Although much is known about the representation and processing of concrete concepts, our knowledge of what abstract semantics might be is severely limited. In this paper we first address the adequacy of the two dominant accounts (dual coding theory and the context availability model) put forward in order to explain representation and processing differences between concrete and abstract words. W...
