Scalar timing in temporal generalization in humans with longer stimulus durations.

摘要: Three experiments investigated temporal generalization performance in humans by using stimulus durations similar to those previously used with rats. In most conditions, chronometric counting was prevented concurrent shadowing of temporally irregular numbers. Experiment 1 examined visual stimuli, when the standard 4.0 s long and nonstandard stimuli were spaced either linearly or logarithmically around standard. Generalization gradients asymmetrical linear spacing but symmetrical logarithmic spacing, a result obtained humans. 2 auditory varied across values 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 s. All asymmetrical, good superposition obtained, indicating conformity scalar timing. 3 encouraged changing instructions, differed not used.
