Subjects judged the total duration of two intervals of time that varied from 0 to 30 sec. The data obeyed the parallelism prediction of a simple weighted adding model. According to functional measurement methodology, this observed parallelism provides joint support for the adding model and for the assumption that the graphic rating response provides a valid interval scale. Furthermore, parallelism allowed construction of the psychophysical time function. The obtained function was essentially linear in the range 0·30 sec. This result is compared with results of previous studies, with particular regard to the method of fractionation. The usefulness of establishing a validated interval response measure for further studies of time perception was pointed out..
